<p>In this dataset, we include all the models developed for the study "An integrated modeling approach to simulate human-crop-groundwater interactions in intensively irrigated regions", which is published in Environmental Modelling & Software (<a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2024.106120">https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2024.106120</a>). Additionally, we provide all the data used in this study. Below, you will find a description of the contents of each file:</p>
<ul>
<li>abm_modflow.zip: This file includes the agent-based hydro-economic model (ABM-MODFLOW), including model inputs and outputs, Python post-processing scripts, and the Windows batch script for the integration process.</li>
<li>modflow.zip: This file contains the standalone MODFLOW model files. Each folder includes files for individual simulation periods, starting with a steady-state model for the predevelopment period, followed by seven transient models.</li>
<li>modflow_rs.zip: This file contains the MODFLOW-RS model files. Given that remote sensing data is provided for years from 1984 onwards, only models for the post-1980 simulation periods are included. For model files corresponding to years prior to 1980, refer to modflow.zip.</li>
<li>Figurers.zip: This file includes all data and Python scripts used to produce the figures in the main text.</li>
<li>Tables.zip: This file contains all tables and the associated data included in the main text.</li>
<li>Supporting_Info_Figures: This file includes all data and Python scripts used to produce the figures in the Supporting Information.</li>
<li>Supporting_Info_Tables: This file contains all tables and the associated data included in the Supporting Information.</li>
<li>Supporting_Info_Videos: This file stores Videos S1 and S2 of the Supporting Information, displaying the historical development of irrigation wells and groundwater-fed irrigated lands in the study area from 1946 to 2018.</li>
