Short summary
Our article describes how water and sediment flows have been monitored for nearly 30 years in the rural Kamech catchment in Tunisia.  This is one of the first datasets of its kind in the southern Mediterranean countries. This data may be useful to agronomists, ecologists, hydrologists, soil scientists, and policymakers interested in agricultural production, biodiversity conservation, soil erosion control, flood risk management, and reservoir siltation.
