Abstract
Data and Software for "Development of the global hydro-economic model (ECHO-Global version 1.0) for assessing the performance of water management options"
This repository provides research data and software supporting the study, facilitating the reproducibility of results and further exploration of the methodologies applied.
Contents
1. Model code
The code ECHO-Global (version 1.0) includes two GAMS files:
§ ECHOGlobal_MAIN_V1.0.gms: This GAMS file includes all model parameters, variables, and equations.
§ ECHOGlobal_SETS_V1.0.gms: This GAMS file defines all model sets (water supply and demand nodes, BCUs, crops, technologies, time, etc.).
2. Data: Model Inputs
This folder contains gdx files with all model input data required for the model, including hydrological, agricultural, and economic parameters:
§ Hydrology: This folder contains all hydrological parameters (runoff, groundwater recharge, observed water use, etc.) as gdx files.
§ Agriculture: This folder contains all agricultural parameters (irrigation water requirements, crop areas, crop yields, etc.) as gdx files.
§ Economics: This folder contains all economic parameters (crop prices, water prices, elasticities, etc.) as gdx files.
§ BCU_to_basin_link.gdx: This gdx file specifies the connections of BCUs to basins.
§ BCU_to_country_link.gdx: This gdx file specifies the connections of the BCUs to the countries.
Additionally, a folder (RiverBasin_BCU) providing a shape file that shows the spatial delineation of the BCUs is also provided.
3. Results: Model Outputs
This folder includes output gdx files displaying the results of the baseline scenarios and the five alternative water management scenarios shown in the manuscript. These results include river flows in different nodes, reservoirs releases and storage, sectoral water use by source of water, crop areas, and economic benefits and costs for all 282 BCUs included in ECHO-Global (version 1.0). The output gdx files are the following:
§ Output_ECHOGlobal_V1.0_Baseline.gdx: This gdx file includes the simulation outputs of the Baseline scenario.
§ Output_ECHOGlobal_V1.0_BAU.gdx: This gdx file includes the simulation outputs of the Business-As-Usual (BAU) scenario.
§ Output_ECHOGlobal_V1.0_ENV.gdx: This gdx file includes the simulation outputs of the Environmental Sustainability (ENV) scenario.
§ Output_ECHOGlobal_V1.0_DM.gdx: This gdx file includes the simulation outputs of the Demand Management (DM) scenario.
§ Output_ECHOGlobal_V1.0_NC.gdx: This gdx file includes the simulation outputs of the Non-Conventional Sources (NC) scenario.
§ Output_ECHOGlobal_V1.0_RES.gdx: This gdx file includes the simulation outputs of the Increased Reservoir Storage Capacity (RES) scenario.
