Additional information

All gridded data were aggregated over the 37 large global aquifer systems according to the World-wide Hydrogeological Mapping and Assessment Programme (WHYMAP) Geographic Information System (GIS) database (BGR and UNESCO, 2008). The WHYMAP network, led by the German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR), serves as a central repository and hub for global groundwater data, information, and mapping with a goal of assisting regional, national, and international efforts toward sustainable groundwater management (Richts et al., 2011).

Statement

Gridded (1 deg x 1 deg), global-scale datasets (GRACE, GLDAS and CRU) were aggregated by taking the mean of the time-series data for the 37 large aquifer systems from the World-wide Hydrogeological Mapping and Assessment Programme (WHYMAP) database. Data were processed in R programming language. Detailed methodologies can be found in Shamsudduha et al. (2017) and Kolusu et al. (2018).
