This land cover dataset, covering the Ghataprabha sub-basin area, is based on a national land cover map produced by NRSC (National Remote Sensing Center), India. The distinction between irrigated and rainfed areas is done using command areas provided by our local partner ACIWRM (Advanced Center for Integrated Water Resources Management), protected and not protected areas are derived using the database developed by WDPA, https://www.protectedplanet.net/. It is published on a yearly basis. The classification scheme is the WA+ standard classification scheme.

Incremental Evapotranspiration calculated for the Ghataprabha (K3) sub-basin area. The incremental evapotranspiration (etincr) is the evapotranspriation of blue water, in other words the incremental evapotranspiration is the fraction of the total actual evapotranspiration that is not due to rainfall. The calculation of Incremental Evapotranspiration is based on a pixel-based soil moisture balance model. More information can be found on the IHE Delft Water Accounting report of Karnataka.

Boundary of the Ghataprabha (K3) sub-basin. The data is provided by the Advanced Center for Integrated Water Resources Management (ACIWRM).

Percolation calculated for the Ghataprabha (K3) sub-basin area. The Percolation (perco) is the amount of soil moisture in the root zone that leaks deeper contributing to groundwater recharge. The calculation of Percolation is based on a pixel-based soil moisture balance model. More information can be found on the IHE Delft Water Accounting report of Karnataka.

Saturated soil water content calculated over the Ghataprabha (K3) sub-basin area. The dataset is derived from the High Resolution Soil Map of Hydraulic Properties (HiHydroSoils v1.0).

Dry Matter Productivity in the Ghataprabha (K3) sub-basin area. The Dry Matter Productivity is the dry biomass increase of the vegetation in a given month. Data is obtained from Copernicus Global Land Service.

Actual Evapotranspiration (ETa) calculated in the Ghataprabha sub-basin area. The actual Evapotranspiration (ETa) is the sum of the soil evaporation (E), canopy transpiration (T), and evaporation from rainfall intercepted by leaves (I). The value of each pixel represents the ETIa in a given month. The data is derived from SSEBop ET product (Senay et al. (2013), doi:10.1111/jawr.12057).

Precipitation calculated in the Ghataprabha (K3) sub-basin area, derived from the Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS) (ftp://ftp.chg.ucsb.edu/pub/org/chg/products/CHIRPS-2.0/). Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS) is a 35+ year quasi-global rainfall data set. Spanning 50°S-50°N (and all longitudes) and ranging from 1981 to near-present, CHIRPS incorporates in-house climatology, CHPclim, 0.05° resolution satellite imagery, and in-situ station data to create gridded rainfall time series for trend analysis and seasonal drought monitoring.

Base flow calculated for the Ghataprabha (K3) sub-basin area. Base flow (bf) or slow flow is the component of the total flow that is due to groudwater discharge. It mainly occurs during dry months. The calculation of base flow is based on a pixel-based soil water balance model. More information are available in the IHE Delft water accounting report of Karnataka.

Total Flow (calculated for the Ghataprabha (K3) sub-basin area. The total flow (tf) is the sum of surface runoff (sro) and the base flow (bf). More information can be found on the IHE Delft Water Accounting report of Karnataka.
