Description

This dataset includes a preliminary version of the AWARE2.0 characterization factors as documented in the article "The updated and improved method for water scarcity impact assessment in LCA, AWARE2.0". For the dataset corresponding to the publication, please see version 1.0.0 (https://zenodo.org/records/15133241).

Content:

  • AWARE20_Native_CFs_geospatial.gpkg: Geospatial file containing the AWARE2.0 basins as polygons with associated monthly CFs
  • AWARE20_Native_CFs_geospatial.kmz: Version of AWARE20_Native_CFs_geospatial.gpkg for GoogleEarth
  • AWARE20_Native_CFs.xlsx: AWARE2.0 CFs on basin level (monthly and annual) and associated water consumption used for weighting
  • AWARE20_Intermediate_Variables.xlsx: Intermediate Variables from the calculation of the AWARE2.0 CFs, such as the longterm average natural and actual water availability, the AMDs, the EFRs, etc.
  • AWARE20_Countries_and_Regions.xlsx: AWARE2.0 CFs aggregated according to geography definitions of GLAM and ecoinvent (version 2.5, applicable to ecoinvent 3.10) 
  • AWARE20_Subnational_Resolution.xlsx: AWARE2.0 CFs aggregated to subnational resolution, using the GADM dataset version 4.1 (https://gadm.org/old_versions.html)
  • figures_AWARE_AWARE20_comparison_all_basins.zip: Figures comparing CFs, AMDs, Natural and Actual Availability, EWRs, and EFR coefficients between AWARE and AWARE2.0, for each of the 8149 basins individually. Consult these figures for a visual impression of how and why CFs might have changed between AWARE and AWARE2.0.

Changes:

  • v0.0.3:
    • use bug-fixed WaterGAP2.2e data from Sept 2023
    • added country and subnational aggregations
    • changed "NoData" to "NotDefined" in the tables
    • added gridcell pHWC to intermediate variables
    • corrected table of water consumption data without post-processing in "Intermediate_Variables"
