Anonymized survey data from the manuscript: The role of Decision Support Tools in drought management: Insights from the Netherlands

This dataset contains anonymized survey data from a questionnaire distributed between April and June 2024. The survey aimed to uncover the range of Decision Support Tools (DSTs) utilized by water managers in drought management across various drought phases. Developed based on exploratory interviews with representatives from the national and regional water authorities in the Netherlands, the questionnaire was administered via Qualtrics, an online survey platform. It included both open-ended and closed questions, organized into three primary areas: (1) drought measures, (2) Decision Support Tools (DSTs), and (3) perspectives on model use and related uncertainties. Some questions used a Likert scale, allowing respondents to express their level of agreement from "fully disagree" (1) to "fully agree" (7). This dataset includes only the responses to questions relevant to the associated manuscript.
