Description

This dataset contains observed monthly and annual salinity (EC) data for surface water (river) respectively groundwater, spatially averaged over sub-basins within the Central Valley, CA and the Murray Darling basin, AU, used for salinity-inclusive water scarcity assessments. The data also includes crop-specific irrigated area, irrigation withdrawals and salinity thresholds and other parameters specified, as well as example codes for analyses related to the manuscript: Thorslund et al., Salinity impacts on irrigation water-scarcity in food bowl regions of the US and Australia.
