Water consumption of crop on watershed level (blue and green water, uncertainty, incl. shapefile)
Description
The data contains production and water consumption data fro 160 crops in >12'000 watershed units and global coverage. Unique features: - uncertainty of irrigation water consumption in estimates - watershed level (allows quantification of water scarcity footprint) - watershed split by country to allow country footprint assessment The data contains: - a shape file "WS_ctry.zip" - a XLS file (can be joined to shapefile by field "FID"): "watershed_WF_crops.xlsx" The Excel file contains different tabs, which can be linked to the shapefile: - total BlueWater (total m3 irrigation water consumption in watershed) - total green water (total m3 green water consumption in watershed) - Production_ton (total production of crop in watershed in metric tons) - BW_per ton (m3/ton irrigation water consumption: expected result) - BW_min_per ton (m3/ton irrigation water consumption: minimum estimate) - BW_max_per ton (m3/ton irrigation water consumption: upper estimate) - Green water per ton (m3/ton green water; natural water supply) Details are described in Pfister and Bayer 2014 (doi:10.1016/j.jclepro.2013.11.031)
