Comparison of sectoral water withdrawal between statistics and corresponding values in this study. (a) Scatter plots of average total water withdrawal simulated by this study, Huang et al., and ISIMIP3a with statistical data for 341 prefectural-city from 1971–2010. The corresponding dotted lines of the same color represent the accuracy fitting lines of the three products against the statistical data. The grey solid line indicates the 1:1 accuracy fitting line, serving as a comparison of fitting accuracy. Box plots of prefectural-city RMSE for total water withdrawal from 1971–2010 (b), domestic water withdrawal from 2000–2022 (c), thermal cooling water withdrawal from 2000–2010 (d), irrigation water withdrawal from 2011–2015 (e), manufacture water withdrawal from 2000–2010 (f).
