Virtual Watershed Model Simulations for Typified Prairie Watersheds in Seven Basin Classes

Description: The dataset is comprised of inputs to and outputs from the Cold Regions Hydrological Model (CRHM) when it was run as a virtual model of the seven prairie basin classes, as defined by He et al. (2023). These watersheds represented typified prairie watersheds based on physiogeography and coherent response to environmental change. Model parameters were informed by the results of He et al. (2023). The .prj files necessary to run the virtual models are included in the dataset. Climate forcing data are from the Adjusted and Homogenized Canadian Climate Dataset from a cohort of stations contained within each watershed class and cover a period from 1960-2006. There are a series of climate sensitivity scenarios that include applying a delta method to the original climate data (i.e., 1°C increments of warming, and -20%, +10%, +20% and +30% of precipitation). Model output includes hourly catchment outflow, and depression water storage in the HRUs for the baseline and each scenario. There are also a series of wetland drainage scenarios that progressively reduced the wetland depression area.
