Overview

Analysis reveals different causes of total water storage decline in Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra basins, highlighting management needs.

Key Points

  • Total water storage trends decline across the Indus and Ganges due to aquifer depletion driven by irrigation expansion.
  • In the Brahmaputra, glacier melting contributes to total water storage decline, showing distinct basin-specific influences.
  • Statistical time-series analysis of water storage components demonstrates unique seasonal variability in the three basins.
  • The findings emphasize the necessity for informed water management decisions based on spatially heterogeneous hydrological drivers.
