From: The annual dynamic dataset of high-resolution crop water use in China from 1991 to 2019
Comparison of crop blue water use (BWU) and evapotranspiration between measured data at field stations and corresponding values in this study. (a) Scatter plots of simulated crop BWU and measured BWU for 7 crops. Scatter plots of simulated evapotranspiration and measured evapotranspiration for the cropping system in (b) winter wheat-summer maize, (c) spring maize, (d) double rice, (e) winter wheat-late rice, and (f) cotton. The measured data at field stations were obtained from the CERN and existing literature32,33,34.
