Crop-country specific AWARE water scarcity factors for 160 crops and global coverage

This work provides water scarcity estimates using the AWARE method, which is a recommended method to assess water scarcity footprints and water consumption in LCA

The worksheets "ctry_crop_AWARE_CF" contains the AWARE CFs specific to the average crop growth patterns (regional and temporal distribution) for 160 crops for each country (details described below).

These CFs can be applied to water consumption of crops grown in these countries, as it provides more specific evaluation than the country average AWARE CFs for agricultural production in Boulay et al. (2018).

This data is e.g. used for the calculation of water scarcity result in Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) assessments of UNEP's IRP Global Resource Outlook (Oberle et al. 2019), the new version of UNEP's SCP-HAT tool (http://scp-hat-beta.fineprint.global/) and by Cabernard et al. 2019 & 2020)

本研究采用AWARE方法估算水资源匮乏状况，AWARE方法系评估水资源匮乏足迹及水资源消耗之推荐方法。工作表中‘ctry_crop_AWARE_CF’包含针对每个国家平均作物生长模式（区域与时间分布）的160种作物的特定AWARE CFs（详情见下文）。这些CFs可应用于该国种植作物的水资源消耗，因其提供的评估比Boulay等人在2018年提出的用于农业生产的国家平均AWARE CFs更为具体。此数据可用于联合国环境规划署（UNEP）全球资源展望（IRP）的多区域投入产出（MRIO）评估中的水资源匮乏结果计算，以及UNEP的新版SCP-HAT工具（http://scp-hat-beta.fineprint.global/）和Caberard等人2019年及2020年的研究中。
