Data Products:
1.
Water use by sector and prefecture during the
period 1965–2013.
2.
Water use intensity (WUI) by sector and
prefecture during the period 1965–2013.
3.
Size indicators by sector and prefecture during
the period 1965–2013, where the indicators include Irrigated area by crop, Industrial
gross value added (GVA) by sub-sector, Service GVA, urban and rural populations,
and livestock population by animal.
4.
LMDI decomposition results of water use change
for three periods (1965-1975, 1975-1992, 1992-2013).
5.
Data for identifying the drivers for irrigation
and industrial WUIs and Budyko-type analysis by province during the period 1971–2013,
including Potential irrigation requirements, Freshwater availability allocated
to irrigation sector, the ratio between the area equipped for water-conserving
irrigation and total irrigated area (water-conserving irrigation technologies
refer to drip or sprinkler irrigation systems and canal lining), the ratio of
recycled water to total industrial WU, the ratio of evaporated water to total
industrial WU, and irrigation water consumption.
6.
GIS files for spatial distribution of 341
prefectures in China.
7.
Codes used in data analysis/figure creation for
the manuscript. The Codes were written by Yan Bo at the Peking
University.
