Lake Hefner (Oklahoma) water budget data

Lake Hefner is a medium-sized municipal reservoir in central Oklahoma, USA, supplying water to Oklahoma City and nearby areas. The region’s semi-arid climate, with marked year-to-year variability in temperature and precipitation, makes its water resources highly climate-sensitive. Our study used a water balance analysis to assess evaporation from 2000 to 2018, relative to precipitation, inflows, and storage change. The following dataset was used for the assessment.
