Data for the catchment-scale groundwater recharge and vegetation water use efficiency estimation

Daily evaporation, precipitation, streamflow and maximum and minimum temperature for 431 MOPEX catchments and other catchment properties such as drainage area, elevation and slope used to estimate catchment scale groundwater recharge, deep storage and vegetation water use efficiency. Geospatial catchment properties were derived from 90 m SRTM elevation dataset.
