Data of runoff and water demand in the Yellow River Basin

Abstract

The Yellow River flows through 9 provinces of Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong, and involves 68 municipalities. Based on the sub basin, the YRB is divided into 45 four level water function areas, which is the smallest division according to the natural conditions of water resources, the comprehensive planning of river basin and the requirements of economic and social development. In this datasets, 68 municipal administrative regions and 45 fourth level water functional areas were nested to construct 185 water use nodes. Each water use node may contain 0~4 water users (domestic, industrial, ecological and agricultural water users). In addition, the datasets also include other types of nodes, such as reservoirs, hydrological stations, water diversion projects and important hydrological sections. Among them, the water diversion project node may contains 0~4 water users as well as the water use node. This model contains 264 nodes and 524 water users (157 domestic water users,146 industrial water users,57 ecological water users and 164 agricultural water users).The datasets used in this study include monthly runoff data (1956-2000) and water demand data for the node. The monthly runoff data is the natural runoff sequence after reduction, and the evaporation and seepage losses are deducted. The monthly water demand data is 2030 (planning level year) year water demand data in the Report on Comprehensive Water Resources Planning of the Yellow River Basin (CWRPOYRB). It should be noted that the water demand outside river in this paper is water consumption demand.However, this data can only be used after obtaining our consent. For this reason, we did not provide the node diagram to describe the specific location of the node and other more detailed information.If you need to use the data, please contact us, we will be happy to share with you and more detailed description of the data.
