The database was developed as part of a research endeavor funded by the CGIAR Initiative on Foresight. This resulted in a paper analyzing freshwater demand for electricity in the year 2020. The paper is available from here: https://doi.org/10.1039/D4EW00246F.

SoilGridsTM (hereafter SoilGrids) is a system for global digital soil mapping that uses state-of-the-art machine learning methods to map the spatial distribution of soil properties across the globe. SoilGrids prediction models are fitted using over 230 000 soil profile observations fro ...

[last updated in 2017] Knowledge of soil properties such as organic carbon content, clay content and pH is vital for agriculture and climate change analysis in Africa. ISRIC has launched a new type of freely accessible soil property maps for Africa. The maps contain predictions of seve ...

ISRIC—World Soil Information is compiling legacy soil profile data for Sub-Saharan Africa, as a project activity of the Globally integrated-Africa Soil Information Service (AfSIS) project; SEE LINK BELOW from ISRIC.

The representation of land surface processes in hydrological and climatic models critically depends on the soil water characteristics curve (SWCC) that defines the plant availability and water storage in the vadose zone. Despite the availability of SWCC datasets in the literature, sign ...

Global Groundwater Recharge: collection of (mean) groundwater recharge rates estimation in function of hydro-climatic and land/soil predictors in different sites of the Earth. Data, analyzed in the article, are contained as supplement material in a MS Excel file.

The GRACE twin satellites, launched 17 March 2002, are making detailed measurements of Earth's gravity field changes and revolutionizing investigations about Earth's water reservoirs over land, ice and oceans, as well as earthquakes and crustal deformations. The two GRACE satellites ha ...

About Niger-HYPENiger-HYPE version:2.0HYPE model version:HYPE version 4.6.0 was adapted to better represent the Inland Niger Delta in Mali by including a routine to simulate floodplain dynamics and river surface fluxes.Geographical domain:The Niger River basin

Shallow groundwater affects terrestrial ecosystems by sustaining river base-flow and root-zone soil water in the absence of rain, but little is known about the global patterns of water table depth and where it provides vital support for land ecosystems. We present global observations o ...

The Global Surface Water Explorer is a simple web mapping tool that shows all of the water datasets and allows users to navigate the globe visualizing the water datasets without installing any software. It also allows users to view the complete history of water detections over the 32 y ...

Due to water shortage problems on local, regional and even global levels, the interest in groundwater has increased considerably during the past decades. In order to support the sustainable management of groundwater resources, it is necessary to map, model and quantify the stored volum ...
