Data from research on optimal water use strategies to mitigate high urban temperatures Bin Liu https://doi.org/10.4121/uuid:01621202-7ec4-4643-84b5-5f9ec2966004
Short summary
We implemented both urban water use schemes in a model (Weather Research and Forecasting model) and assessed their cooling effects with different amounts of water in different parts of the city (center, suburbs, and rural areas) for both road sprinkling and urban irrigation by model simulation. Then, we developed an optimization scheme to find out the optimal water use strategies for mitigating high urban temperatures.
