High-resolution water demand dataset from a District Metered Area in the Križevci area, Croatia (2023–2024)

This dataset contains two years of high-resolution water demand measurements from a District Metered Area (DMA) supplied from the general Križevci town area, Croatia, together with the corresponding meteorological covariates. Flow measurements at 15-minute resolution span 1 January 2023 — 31 December 2024 (UTC), and are accompanied by hourly Open-Meteo covariates resampled to the same grid. The dataset is intended to support research on short-term water demand forecasting, uncertainty quantification, anomaly detection, and related operational analytics in water distribution systems. Detailed file descriptions, column definitions, preprocessing notes, suggested benchmark splits, and citation information are provided in the included README.md file. The dataset accompanies the study: H. Novak, D. Borić, B. Korotaj, N. Hure, and M. Vašak, "Uncertainty-aware short-term forecasting of water demand using data-driven models and conformal prediction," Proc. WDSA/CCWI 2026 Conference, 2026.
