Dataset from "Integrating natural capital accounting and assessment reveals the values of ecosystems for water and energy security in Colombia's Caribbean region"

The data archived here are assocaited with the manuscript titled "Integrating natural capital accounting and assessment reveals the values of ecosystems for water and energy security in Colombia's Caribbean region". The files within "Sinu_SDR_inputs.zip" and "Sinu_SWY_inputs.zip" were prepared and run in InVEST version 3.12.0. "SDR" refers to the InVEST Sedimnet Delivery Ratio (SDR) model and "SWY" refers to the InVEST Seasonal Water Yield (SWY) model. Results of these model runs are found within "Sinu_SDR_results.zip" and "Sinu_SWY_results.zip" for the SDR and SWY models, respectively. These models were calibrated using observed data on average monthly water flows (from 1959 to 1992) and average annual sediment loads (from 1972 to 1992) from gauge stations on Colombia's Sinú River. Those observed data were obtained from Colombia's Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology, and Environmental Studies (IDEAM) hydrometeorological monitoring network webportal and are summarized in the files included here, "MeanMonthlyObservedFlowsXgaugeStation.csv" for monthly water flows and "annualObservedSedimentXgaugeStation.csv" for annual sediment loads.
