A Comprehensive Water Stress Database for the Continental United States

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A Comprehensive Water Stress Database for the Continental United States---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This dataset serves as the foundation for analyzing water stress across the **contiguous United States** at the **daily and county level**. It supports the modeling and estimation of water supply, water demand, and water stress metrics using publicly available data. ## Contents The dataset includes the following components: - `metadata.xlsx` Contains the spatial boundary and dimensions of input data.- `input/`: Contains all input data required to estimate daily water supply and demand.- `supply_demand/`: Stores output data from the water supply and demand estimation models.- `nwsi_res/`: Includes final results for water stress levels calculated using the normalized water stress index (NWSI) metric.- `a1_calculate_supply.m` and `a2_calculate_demand.m`: Use input data to estimate supply and demand.- `b1_b2_calculate_stress.m`: Computes water stress from supply and demand data.- `nwsi.m`: Function script to calculate NWSI.- Output file definitions and data descriptions are included within the scripts.
