Chair Water Quality and Sustainable Water Systems

Datasets

The work of the Chair in Water Quality and Sustainable Water Systems has also yielded a number of datasets that are publicly available:

Water quality and hydrological data

DynQual water quality modelling:

  • Global monthly hydrology (PCR-GLOBWB model) and water quality datasets (DynQual model) for 1980-2019 at 10 km spatial resolution (link) and at 0.5 degree resolution (link) and in Google Earth Engine (link)
  • Global monthly averaged TDS, BOD and FC concentrations between 2021 and 2030 at 10km spatial resolution (link)
  • Global hydrological and surface water quality output for 2005-2100 at 10 km resolution, per GCM and global change scenario (RCP–SSP) (link)
  • DynQual global surface water quality model code (link)

Water quality monitoring data:

  • Global dataset of surface water and groundwater salinity measurements from 1980–2019 (link)
  • Global water quality monitoring data and python scripts for analysing impacts of droughts and heatwaves on global river water quality (1980-2021) (link)

Water production, collection, treatment and reuse

  • Country-level and gridded estimates of wastewater production, collection, treatment and reuse (link)

Energy consumption for water treatment data

Hydropower plant and reservoir data:

Sectoral water use and crop yield data:

  • Sectoral water use responses to droughts and heatwaves: analyses from local to global scales for 1990–2019 (link)

Irrigation water use and crop yield (irrigated irrigated maize, soybean wheat for 1979-2019 period (link)
