Roles of irrigation and reservoir operations in modulating terrestrial water and energy budgets in the Indian sub-continental river basins

We have simulated water budget and energy budget over Indian subcontinental basins, using three scenarios from the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model by including irrigation and reservoir practices in it: 1). No irrigation and reservoir (VIC-NATURAL)<br> 2). Free irrigation and no reservoir (VIC-FREE)<br> 3). Reservoir and restricted irrigation (VIC-MANAGED) Here, we have shared results in below folders.
