Short summary
Accurately quantifying the blue and green water footprints of crops is essential for addressing unsustainable agricultural water use. However, long-term, high spatiotemporal resolution data have been lacking. Hence, multi-source remote sensing was integrated with high-resolution crop distribution and phenology within a detailed water footprint framework. ChinaCropWF provides daily, 1-km resolution blue and green water footprints for China's five major food crops from 2001 to 2020.
