Research Dataset on Water pressure in China's water-energy-food nexus from the perspective of regional trade

This dataset covers relevant data on consumption driven water consumption, external contributions and transmission pathways of water pressure, and future changes in implicit water use in the water-energy-food (WEF) system of various provinces, covering 31 provinces across the country. The main sources of data are the China Environmental Statistics Yearbook, Water Resources Bulletin, China Energy Statistics Yearbook, and the World Resources Institute. The dataset mainly includes three types of data: (1) Embodied blue water use in WEF nexus by province in China; (2) External contribution of water stress and energy- food competition for water in WEF nexus by province in China; (3) Embodied water use statistics for high and low water pressure pathways in the WEF sector by province in China.
