Water Cycle Atlas of India (WCAI) v1.0 [1980-2022, Daily, 0.1°]

WCAI ( Water Cycle Atlas of India) is a long term land surface reanalysis of the Indian subcontinent from Jan 1980 to Dec 2022. It is produced using the Indian Land Data Assimillation System (ILDAS) at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, New Delhi India. It provides daily estimates of 16 variables at 0.1 degree resolution. The hydrologic and hydrodynamic model combination used is NoahMP3.6 and HYMAP2 forced with Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) gridded precipitation and MERRA2 reanalysis data. This dataset will be valuable for water balance assessments at continental scale for multiple applications such as water resources planning, soil conservation, urban planning, and natural disaster risk mitigation.
