Abstract:

This data set provides future domestic and industrial water withdrawal and consumption to be used as input data for ISIMIP3b Group III simulations (Friehler et al., in prep., www.isimip.org) This includes both the multi-model mean and standard deviation from three global hydrological models (H08, WaterGAP, CWatM).

The dataset is intended to be used by modelling groups that do not have their own representation. The data for the Group I and II simulations are available from Wada et al. (2022).

Methods:

The data is created using the same approach as for the earlier projections from the Water Futures and Solutions project (WFaS; Wada et al., 2016), with the following important changes and additions: More recent input data from the SSPs was used, including projections of GDP and population from the ISIMIP3b database, and electricity generation from the IMAGE (SSP1), AIM-CGE (SSP3), and REMIND-MAgPIE (SSP5) integrated assessment models, downscaled to country level by IIASA (Sferra et al., 2021). The same technological change rates were applied as in WFaS; for SSP5 (which was not modelled in WFaS) the same technological change rates as in SSP1 are assumed (like in Hanasaki et al., 2013) and technological change rates are applied up to 2050, with no further changes until 2100. Results from the different water use models (H08, WaterGAP, CWatM) are averaged at the grid cell level and rescaled using a constant multiplier to match the historical data in 2015. As in WFaS, we do not consider any effects of climate change on water requirements (or water availability). The resulting projections thus correspond to the “no-adaptation” case in ISIMIP3b Group III.
