Abstract

- Global Aquifer Database -
Consulted literature sources and steps applied to delineate groundwater aquifer boundaries are described in the following publications: (i) Jasechko, S. Seybold, H.S., Perrone, D., Fan, Y., Shamsudduha, M., Taylor, R.G., Fallatah, O., Kirchner, J.W. Rapid groundwater decline and some cases of recovery in aquifers globally. Nature, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06879-8 (2024). and/or (ii) GebreEgziabher, M., Jasechko, S., Perrone, D. (2022). Widespread and increased drilling of wells into fossil aquifers in the USA. Nature Communications 13, 2129 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-29678-7 (2022).
