How do we compensate the water that is being taken out of water cycle for curing of concrete in infra construction?
The top twelve cement producing countries in 2020 produced 3191 Mt of cement. Increase this to 4000 Mt to include the rest of the world.
Depending on the application, the water to cement ratio of ...

Where can I find high-resolution, historic weather data for urban areas (like ERA5 but higher spatial resolution)?
I think the ERA5-Land dataset suits your purpose. See https://www.ecmwf.int/en/era5-land. As the website says, 'The data is a replay of the land component of the ERA5 climate reanalysis with a finer ...
