The uploaded files were files used in model simulation to create climate files for different agro-ecologies. File names are according to agro-ecology (specific location), and file extensions refer to the different file types. .PLU is a rainfall file .ETO is a reference evapotranspiration file .TMP is a temperature file .SOL is a soil file Crop files (.CRO) can be created on AquaCrop using information provided in Table 2, where planting dates can be specified as part of creating a crop file for simulation.

Raw data in this study.

All the original data used in the waterlogging risk assessment in eastern China, including hazard intensity index, socioeconomic exposure index, urban adaptability index and other related indicators, as well as waterlogging risk index and risk ranking of Chinese cities

Raw data for the article: "Synthesis, characterization, and application of polyacrylamide grafted bioflocculant"

The sanitation data was obtained and consolidated from Multiple Indicator Health Surveys(MICS), Demographic Health Surveys (DHS) and Joint Monitoring Programme. Data for diarrhoeal mortality was obtained from Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation

The upload datasets are the basic data to make the urban heat islands

The Africa Drainage Boundary Dataset (AfDBD) is a comprehensive aggregated collection of drainage unit (DU) data for the African Continent. The dataset defines the areal extent of surface water drainage to a point except in coastal, endorheic, or lakefront areas where there could be multiple outlets. In the AfDBD, the continent is divided and subdivided into successively smaller drainage units, classified into six levels: systems, regions, subregions, basins, subbasins, and catchments, primarily determined by topology, location, type, and size of DUs. DUs are consistently assigned identification codes that show their location and classification level. The characterization provides a high-resolution DU boundary dataset that improves data compatibility and accuracy and is expected to support catchment-based research and application on the continent.

This paper analyzes the hydrological processes and the impact of soil properties and land use on these processes in tropical headwater catchment in the sub-humid part of Benin (West-Africa), the Aguima catchment. The presented study is integrated in the GLOWA IMPETUS project, which investigates the effects of global change on the water cycle and water availability on a regional scale in Morocco and Benin. The lack of field investigations concerning soil and surface hydrology in the Benin research area necessitates detailed field measurements including measurements of discharge, soil water dynamics, soil physical properties etc. on the local scale in order to understand the dominant runoff generation processes and its influencing factors. This is a pre-requisite to be able to forecast the effects which global change has on hydrological processes and water availability in the region. The paper gives an overview over the hydrologic measuring concept of the IMPETUS-Benin project focusing on measurements concerning the soil saturated conductivity ksat and discharge behaviour of two different sub-catchment of the Aguima catchment. The results of ksat measurements revealed that interflow is the dominant runoff process on the hillslopes of the investigated catchment. Concerning the impact of land use on the hydrological processes infiltration experiments showed that infiltration rates were reduced on cultivated land compared to natural land cover. This results in significant differences in runoff behaviour and runoff ratios while comparing natural and agricultural used catchments.
