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 ...

The limits of aquifer-bearing sedimentary basins have been determined from a global compilation by Penwell [1]. In addition, public datasets on the depth of the basement–sediment interface [2][3] have been used to construct sediment thickness. The sediment thickness dataset is combined ...

Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS) is a 30+ year quasi-global rainfall dataset.Spanning 50°S-50°N (and all longitudes), starting in 1981 to near-present, CHIRPS incorporates 0.05° resolution satellite imagery with in-situ station data to create grid ...

A Global 3 arc-second Water Body Map (G3WBM) is developed using an automated algorithm to process multi-temporal Landsat images from the Global Land Survey (GLS) database. We used 33,890 scenes from 4 GLS epochs in order to delineate a seamless water body map, without cloud and ice/sno ...

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.

Data browsed from IGRAC and transboundary groundwaters portal. Political, institutional, socio-economic, cultural and other differences among countries make the assessment and management of internationally shared aquifers challenging. As a United Nation centre, IGRAC provides an indepe ...

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 ...

Drawing upon a variety of existing maps, data and information, WWF and the Center for Environmental Systems Research, University of Kassel, Germany created the Global Lakes and Wetlands Database (GLWD). The combination of best available sources for lakes and wetlands on a global scale ...

The dataset is the new version of water use data in https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.897933 with some revision in the coordinate in the dataset. The dataset constitutes the first reconstructed global water use data product at sub-annual and sub-national/gridded resolution that is derived ...

The Digital Water Atlas started as one of the fast-track activities of the Global Water System Project (GWSP) that were initiated at the first meeting of the Scientific Steering Committee of the GWSP in February 2005. This introduction gives a brief description of the aims of the Digit ...

The Global Reservoir and Dam (GRanD) Database provides the location and main specifications of large global reservoirs and dams with a storage capacity of more than 0.1km³ both in point and polygon format. The current version 1.1 of GRanD contains 6,862 records of reservoirs with a cum ...

Dams, and their associated reservoirs, provide the ability to store water for later use, provide hydropower and provide some level of protection from extreme precipitation events. If designed correctly, dams allow water to be available at times when in its absence it would not be avail ...
