Data sources for the groundwater depletion manuscript in Water Resources Research

Here, you can access the source files for the figures (and tables) of the publication (see reference).

Basically, you find the model output (WaterGAP 2.2a) for global scaled groundwater storage, total water storage, baseflow, groundwater recharge (diffuse and below surface water bodies) and a table where location of grid cell and belonging continental area (e.g. to convert values into km³) is given. In addition, an Excel-File for the diagram of HPA (Figure 2) is accessible.

First part of the file name represents the model variant (IRR100, IRR100_S, IRR70_S, NOUSE_S, for details see the manuscript), then the variable name and unit is given (Total Water Storages [mm], groundwater storage [mm], Qb (baseflow) [mm], Rg (diffuse groundwater recharge) [mm], Rg_swb (groundwater recharge below surface water bodies) [mm]). File format is a zipped netCDF. The table "lat_lon_cont_area.txt" contains the ArcID (internal grid cell number), coordinates and the continental area which is used for WaterGAP calculations.
