Data underlying the publication: Historic assessment of groundwater sustainability

We conducted a global assessment of sustainable groundwater head declines between 1984-2018. Additionally, we compared our estimates of sustainable head declines with observations and simulations of historic groundwater head and abstractions. Our findings are presented at 5-arcmin gridcells and aggregated over global aquifers. The data was processed from the model output and analyzed using R. Therefore, the data provided here is meant to be used in the same manner.
