Available Water Remaining for the United States (AWARE-US)
Abstract:
The online version of the AWARE-US model provides monthly water stress characterization factors (CFs) for all counties in the continental United States. The online tool provides a General User Interface (GUI) that enables users to custom tailor results based multiple criteria including: Geography (State), County (Name), and Time Period (Annual, Month). Further, the model supports the calculation of regionalized water scarcity footprints, contingent on user provided monthly water consumption data.
