Calculate the Water Stress Index

Source: R/wateravailability.R

This function calculates the Water Stress Index (estimating the yield depression as a function of water deficiency or surplus)

calc_waterstressindex(B_HELP_WENR, B_LU_BRP, B_GWL_CLASS, WSI = "waterstress")

Arguments

B_HELP_WENR

(character) The soil type abbreviation, derived from 1:50.000 soil map

B_LU_BRP

(numeric) The crop code (gewascode) from the BRP

B_GWL_CLASS

(character) The groundwater table class

WSI

(character) The type of Water Stress Index is required. Options: droughtstress, wetnessstress and the (combined) waterstress

Value

The yield depression (in %) through wetness or drought stress (depending on the WSI selected). Numeric value.
