Historical and future irrigation water demand for the STARS4Water river basins

Dataset contains data on historical and future irrigation water demand for seven European river basins (Danube, Drammen, Duero, East Anglia, Messara, Rhine and Seine) being case study basin in the STARS4Water, and a shapefile with river basin boundaries. The average summer net irrigation requirement [mm/year] for each combination GCM model (5 models)/time window (2 windows) was calculated within the boundaries of the project river basin hubs. The difference between the future and historical period was also calculated for each GCM. In addition, ensemble mean values for both horizons and ensemble mean differences were calculated. This dataset was prepared based on the data available in the "Net irrigation requirement under different climate scenarios using AquaCrop over Europe" repository (Busschaert et al., 2022, DOI: 10.5281/zendo.6760976).
