Short Summary

This study presents data and documentation for a monthly hydro-economic model of the Murray-Darling Basin, designed to predict irrigation water demands and analyze water markets under climate change scenarios.

Objective

• To develop and apply a monthly time-step hydro-economic model for the Murray-Darling Basin to predict irrigation water demands and analyze the impacts of climate change on water markets.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Murray-Darling Basin, Australia
• Temporal Scale: Monthly

Methodology and Data

• Models used: A custom monthly hydro-economic model
• Data sources: Data sets for a monthly hydro-economic model of the Murray-Darling Basin, as documented in related publications.

Main Results

• The developed monthly hydro-economic model provides a framework for predicting monthly irrigation water demands and analyzing the behavior of water markets within the Murray-Darling Basin, particularly under climate change scenarios. No specific quantitative results are provided in this data set description.

Contributions

• Development of a novel monthly time-step hydro-economic model for the Murray-Darling Basin, offering a detailed temporal resolution for analyzing irrigation water demands and the complex interplay of water markets under future climate conditions.

Funding

• Not specified in the provided text.
