Hydrological Impacts of Land Use and Water Consumption in Paraopeba River Basin

687.8 KB of scenario-based hydrological modeling results for the Paraopeba River Basin in Brazil. The data, authored by Pâmela Rafanele França Pinto and last updated in April 2026, compares water yield under current conditions (1985–2018) against a hypothetical scenario with no anthropogenic changes. Results indicate streamflow reductions of up to 33% due to urban expansion, silviculture, and water consumption.

Use Cases

• Modeling hydrological changes based on land use and land cover change scenarios.
• Assessing water security threats based on combined anthropogenic drivers.
• Comparing flow-duration-curve signatures between current and baseline scenarios.
• Analyzing the relationship between native vegetation area and evapotranspiration losses.

Strengths

• Data is licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for open use.
• The modeling framework explicitly attributes hydrological changes to anthropogenic drivers.
• Analysis covers a 33-year period from 1985 to 2018.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small at 687.8 KB, suggesting limited scope or summary-level data.
