Data underlying submission "Tracing stream flow in confluent rivers – a journey from chaos to order"

These data underly the analysis presented in the manuscript "Tracing stream flow in confluent rivers – a journey from chaos to order" by Erwin Zehe, Samuel Schroers and Hubert Savenije.

The data used for this analysis are available were taken from the globally available the HydroSHEDS data base at https://www.hydrosheds.org created by Lehner et al. (2008). The extracted data for analyzing the 18 of the largest Rivers are stored as csv files sorted by river names. The metadata are provided in "HydroSHEDS_TechDoc_v1_4.pdf" and "BasinATLAS_Catalog_v10.pdf".

The matal codes for data analysis and simulations were tested and should be self-explaining.
