DESCRIPTION
----------

1. Dataset language:
English


2. Abstract:
Dataset acquired for the study published in the article: “Water consumption of felt-based outdoor living walls in warm climates”.
This study aims to quantify the water consumption of commercial outdoor felt-based living walls installed in four different Spanish cities, assessing the influencing variables (i.e., location, size, exposition, recirculation). To do so, 16 living walls were monitored during 1–4 years to compute the volume of water used to irrigate them during the year.
