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
- Model inputs (including the spreadsheet with compiled validation data) and outputs can be found at link https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13961187 and https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13961387, respectively.
Hydropower plant and reservoir data:
- Global dataset combining open-source hydropower plant and reservoir data (GloHydroRes) (link)
- The Python code used to link hydropower plants to their corresponding reservoirs and to plot figures is available on GitHub (https://github.com/SustainableWaterSystems/GloHydroRes/tree/main
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)
