Saturated soil water content calculated over the Malaprabha (K4) sub-basin area. The dataset is derived from the High Resolution Soil Map of Hydraulic Properties (HiHydroSoils v1.0).

Precipitation calculated in the Middle Krishna 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.

Precipitation minus actual evapotranspiration (P-ET) calculated over the Middle Krishna (K2) sub-basin area. The P-ET is the difference between CHIRPS data and US SSEBop evapotranspiration.

This land cover dataset, covering the Malaprabha (K4) 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.

Interception calculated in the Middle Krishna sub-basin area. The Interception (I) data component (monthly, in mm/day) represents the evaporation of intercepted rainfall from the vegetation canopy. Interception is the process where rainfall is captured by the leaves. Part of this captured rainfall will evaporate again. The value of each pixel represents the average monthly evaporated interception for that specific month.

Dry Matter Productivity in the Malaprabha (K4) 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.

Reference evapotranspiration calculated for the Middle Krishna (K2) sub-basin area. The reference evapotranspiration (ETref) is defined as the evapotranspiration from a hypothetical reference crop and it simulates the behaviour of a well-watered grass surface. The value of each pixel represents the total monthly reference evapotranspiration for that specific month. Reference evapotranspiration is derived using the Penman-Monteith equation. The following data is used to calculate ETref: daily incoming solar radiation and weather data (temperature, humidity, wind speed).

Evaporation calculated for the Ghataprabha (K3) sub-basin area. Evaporation (e) is one of the three components of the actual evapotranspiration (SSEBop global data). It is computed as the difference between the actual evapotranspiration (ET), the interception (I) and the transpiration (T). E = ET- I - T
