The water resources simulation data of Southeast Asian countries and the Lancang Mekong River Basin (1980-2019) is the result of using the meteorological data output from the WRF model as the driving data and simulation through the ways model. The data includes evapotranspiration, surface runoff, underground runoff, total runoff, groundwater, infiltration and soil moisture data of Southeast Asia land area from 1980 to 2019. The temporal resolution is daily and the spatial resolution is 3km. The data is generally good, but due to the limitations of the model, there are certain errors in the simulation results of a few variables. It is not recommended to use the research with high requirements for data accuracy. The data can reflect the situation of water resources in Southeast Asia to a certain extent, and provide data support for relevant research.

File naming and required software

File name: [ways_wrfout_vvvv_mekong_daily_yyyy_yyyy. NC4], where yyyy represents year and vvvv represents variable type. For example, ways_ wrfout_ qtot_ mekong_ daily_ 1999_ 1999.nc4 refers to the daily runoff data of the Lancang Mekong River Basin in 1999.
Data reading method: the data set is stored in the netcdf4 format, and the file suffix is NC4, the file contains unit information. It is recommended to use the xarray Library in Python to read the file.
