Dataset
To assess the assess global water scarcity on a monthly basis at the level of grid cells of 30 × 30 arc min.
This was an assessment study to facilitate governments, companies, and investors to develop adequate response strategies to water scarcity
The dataset contains monthly, Quarterly averaged and yearly averages of blue water scarcity at 30 × 30 arc min resolution across the globe
Blue water scarcity data was calculated per month per grid cell, at a 30 × 30 arc min resolution, as the ratio of the local blue water footprint (WFloc) to the total blue water availability (WAtot) in the month and grid cell (32)
