摘要：There are over 52,000 dams in the contiguous US ranging from 0.5 to 243 meters high that collectively hold 600,000 million cubic meters of water. These structures have dramatically afected the river dynamics of every major watershed in the country. While there are national datasets that document dam attributes, there is no national dataset of reservoir operations . Here we present a dataset of historical reservoir infows, outfows and changes in storage for 679 major reservoirs across the US, called ResOpsUS . All of the data are provided at a daily temporal resolution . Temporal coverage varies by reservoir depending on construction date and digital data availability. Overall, the data spans from 1930 to 2020, although the best coverage is for the most recent years, particularly 1980 to 2020. The reservoirs included in our dataset cover more than half of the total storage of large reservoirs in the US (defned as reservoirs with storage greater 0.1 km3) . We document the assembly process of this dataset as well as its contents . Historical operations are also compared to static reservoir attribute datasets for validation.
