Short summary
Water use is often estimated with coarse data that overlook spatial heterogeneity, limiting effective water planning. This study proposes a framework to simulate water use at multiple spatial scales across China, combining a grid-based approach and uncertainty analysis. It finds that both the model structure and spatial scale affect. The framework reveals detailed patterns in water use and can guide smarter water resources management.
