Summary

This data release contains data associated with the journal article “Land and water use for energy in the Colorado River Basin”. The area of interest is defined by the counties intersecting with the Colorado River Basin (HUC-7 and HUC-8) and a shapefile outlining these counties has been included. The data release includes 4 child items and metadata files that provide descriptions of the processing steps, original data sources, and attributes. “Electricity_Producing_Facilities” provides information on location, capacity,generation, land use, and water use at individual power plants. “Land_Cover_Digitized_Facilities” provides digitized polygons of individual power plants and energy extraction facilities that were used to determine land [...]

Purpose

This data release attempts to provide land and water use estimates for individual coal power plants in the Colorado River Basin along with their location, generation, and capacity attribute information with data from the Energy Information Administration. This data release aims to provide researchers and decision makers with more information on the generalized water and land usage for energy production for the Colorado River Basin.
