Dataset

Overview

Here we provide outputs of the global simulation of water footprints of crops with a process-based gridded crop model ACEA (see model description in the references). The model is based on FAO’s AquaCrop and covers 175 widely-grown crops in the 1990–2019 period at a 5 arcminute resolution (10 x 10 km). We partition water footprints into green (water from precipitation) and blue (from irrigation or capillary rise) and differentiate between rainfed and irrigated production systems. The outputs cover several variables, including unit water footprints (expressed in m3 t-1 yr-1), water footprints of crop production (m3 yr-1), and crop water use (mm yr-1). For more information on methods, input data, validation, and uncertainties please refer to the corresponding data descriptor paper published in Scientific Data: doi.org/10.1038/s41597-024-03051-3

 

This dataset includes global gridded datasets (NetCDF4 files) and summary datasheets for national and global values (CSV files). For more information on each provided file, please refer to readme.pdf
