==================================================================
Explain the relationship between multiple data sets, if required:
==================================================================
Multiple files presented in this dataset are measurements from different depths in the lysimeter, i.e. Z100 is from the sensors at 100 mm below the surface. 

=====================================
Key words used to describe the data:
=====================================

Lysimeter, SuDS, Green Infrastructure, Volumetric water content,Matric suction, Ground Heat Exchanger, Ground Source Heat Pump

========================== 
Methodological information
==========================
Data collected includes the following:

VWC: Volumetric water content collected with 5TE sensors. Averaged over 15 min. Given in %
Suction: Matric suction collected with MPS6 sensors. Averaged over 15 min. Given in kPa
