The data resource contains daily time-series of simulated streamflow, ground water levels and estimated demands, from humans, livestock, irrigation and industry, across the Cauvery Basin, India. The data were generated using the Global Water Availability Assessment (GWAVA) Model 5. A baseline of 1986-2005 is presented along with two future time slices (2041-2060 and 2061-2080) for these variables. The data were produced to help predict how rapid economic development and population growth in the region would impact on future water security. The data resource was produced by the data authors.

The research was funded by NERC research grant NE/N016491/1 Upscaling Catchment Processes for Sustainable Water Management in Peninsular India

Provenance & quality

The model was calibrated at 14 gauging stations across the basin against available observed streamflow using the SIMPLEX auto-calibration routine. This routine utilises four parameters (a surface and groundwater routing parameter, a probability distribution model (PDM) parameter that describes spatial variation in soil moisture capacity and a multiplier to adjust rooting depths). The model was then validated across the same 14 gauging stations (over a different time period to the calibration) and 200 groundwater observational wells.
