Root zone water storage capacity () sets the lower limit on the water available to plants and is critical for modeling terrestrial water and carbon fluxes. Due to subsurface heterogeneity in soils, roots, and geology, in‐situ measurements of are infeasible at regional to global scales. Instead, is often estimated usi...

Quantifying groundwater storage in karst aquifers remains challenging because of their heterogeneous structure and the scarcity of direct observations. This study proposes a pragmatic approach for characterizing storage and water availability in karst systems at the regional scale using long-term hydrographs from 16 Sw...

Drought impacts in large river basins depend not only on precipitation deficits but also on how terrestrial water storage (TWS) buffers climate anomalies through hydrological memory, which is the persistence of past storage conditions. In this study, we quantify this as the “effective hydrological memory,” measured...

Intensive groundwater exploitation in the Wei River Basin (WRB) has caused severe depletion. While Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites monitor these changes, their coarse resolution fails to account for soil erosion-induced mass loss on the Loess Plateau limit basin-scale accuracy. To address thi...

Global Hydrological Models (GHMs) are an invaluable tool for simulating the dynamics of our freshwater cycle and estimating its contribution to sea level rise. However, uncertainties of input data (e.g., meteorological forcing, water demand estimates) and empirical parameters, as well as errors in the model structure (...

Quantifying water availability at the national scale remains challenging, particularly where runoff observations are scarce or inconsistent. Hydrological modelling offers a practical solution, and monthly water balance models are especially attractive because of their simplicity and modest data requirements. In this st...
