Midpoint Characterization Factors to assess impacts of turbined water use from hydropower production

This repository contains "Supporting Information 2 (SI2)" and a shapefile with the CFs at basin level for the publication titled "Midpoint Characterization Factors to assess impacts of turbine water use from hydropower production", published in "The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment" .

Content:

SI2 is an excel file with the following sheets: 

Midpoints_CFs_Basin

Midpoint CF values [HDOR·y/m3] for each basin, including TWU, RV and Q input parameters and sensitivity results

TE

TE values used for TWU calculations

Midpoints_CFs_Country

Midpoint CF values [HDOR·y/m3] aggregated to country level (Weighted average based on TWU). Country delination obtained from: The Word Bank. (2021). World International Borders - Very High Definition. https://datacatalog.worldbank.org/search/dataset/0038272

Case_Study

Underlying data for the case study performed in Sections 2.6 and 3.3 of the main publication
