HUSWD datasets(.nc)

We generated a 0.1° monthly sectoral water use dataset (High-resolution Sectoral Water use Dataset, HSWUD) for China, covering the period from 1965 to 2022. The dataset includes main sectors of national economic development such as irrigation, manufacturing, thermal power cooling, and domestic water use . This dataset will aid in understanding the impacts of human activities on water resources in changing environmentsWe recommend that users use the latest version. No changes have been made to the underlying water use values, apart from spatial adjustments and unit corrections.We corrected the metadata of the file HSWUD_irr.nc by modifying the value of its "unit" attribute. The unit has been updated from "cubic meters" to "10^8 cubic meters" to ensure consistency with the dataset’s actual scaling and documentation.
