Literature database for the systematic map "Allocating environmental groundwater demand through the groundwater contribution to environmental flows"

This dataset contains the full literature corpus assessed at the eligibility stage of the systematic map on environmental groundwater allocation reported in the associated article. It comprises the 128 peer-reviewed records that passed title-and-abstract screening and were carried forward to full-text assessment, retrieved from Web of Science and Scopus for the period 1993–2023 through a combined PICOC/PCOC search strategy. Each record is provided with its title, digital object identifier (where available) and abstract. The dataset supports the reproducibility of the screening and synthesis workflow and enables reuse of the compiled corpus for related evidence syntheses on the groundwater contribution to environmental flows (GEFC) and environmental groundwater demand (EGwD).
