Data requirements to use: Modelled data from a hydrologic model (with the SWAT model) are used initially to compute soil water in the root zone on a weekly basis. ;

Data used: Soil moisture data;

Data format: N/A;

Data access: N/A;

Concise description:

A weekly soil moisture product calculated at four different soil depths (SWAT model), including the total soil column, at 0.61, 1.23 and 1.83 m, and can be used as in indicator of short-term drought, especially using the results from the 0.61m layer.
