Water availability and temperature scenarios for water-dependent power plants in the Danube river basin and the Iberian Peninsula

The dataset is composed by 12 files reporting the water availability and temperature scenarios for 167 water-dependent power plants in the Danube river basin and the Iberian Peninsula.

The dataset is split into multiple files by region (Danube river basin (Danube) or Iberian Peninsula (IP)), variable (discharge or river temperature) and scenario (baseline, RCP26 or RCP85) considered.

The title of each file is composed by the variable reported (discharge or river temperature) and the scenario considered (baseline: 1951-2004, RCP26: 2006-2100, RCP85: 2006-2100). The first row is used to report the fields considered: the first three columns report the day, the month and the year. The remaining columns report the name of the power plant considered in each region (57 for the Daube river basin and 110 for the Iberian Peninsula). In each row day, month, year and streamflow or river temperature values are reported for every water-dependent power plant examined in the study.

Temperature is reported as daily average temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) while water availability is reported as daily average streamflow in cubic meters per second (m^3/s).
