[1] There is increasing interest in using Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite data to remotely monitor groundwater storage variations; however, comparisons with ground-based well data are limited but necessary to validate satellite data processing, especially when the study area is close to or below the GRACE footprint. The Central Valley is a heavily irrigated region with...

Long-term average groundwater recharge, which is equivalent to renewable groundwater resources, is the major limiting factor for the sustainable use of groundwater. Compared to surface water resources, groundwater resources are more protected from pollution, and their use is less restricted by seasonal and inter-annual flow variations. To support water management in a globalized world, it is ne...

Abstract. Managing water–human systems during water shortages or droughts is key to avoid the overexploitation of resources and, in particular, groundwater. Groundwater a crucial resource as it sustains both environmental and anthropogenic demand. Drought management often guided by drought policies, crisis management, actively introduced strategies. However, impact strategies on hydrological ra...

abstract surface water restriction and supply variation of these resources causes of over extraction of groundwater and unbalance between feed and extraction of groundwater in iran. agricultural sector as the biggest consumer of water resources has the most share of this unsustainability. this paper studies the conjunctive use of surface and groundwater in agronomy production in qazvin basin, o...

This paper examines the spatial and temporal development of streamflow droughts in Europe over the last 40 years, differentiating the climatic factors that drive drought formation from catchment controls on drought manifestation. A novel approach for quantifying and comparing streamflow and precipitation depletion is presented. This approach considers atypical flow or rainfall events, as well a...

Contemporary understanding of the impacts climate change on global drought characteristics (e.g., intensities, extents) is still limited and not well understood. This knowledge critical because projected changes in are expected to impact future water availability as influence decisions how resources allocated. The main aim this study improve (extents duration) Anthropocene where rapid environme...
