Study Shows Declining Trend in Global Water Availability

Prof. ZHANG Yongqiang and his team quantified the annual trends in global land water availability from 2001 to 2020. Using a combination of satellite data and large-scale basin observations they defined water availability as the net difference between precipitation supply and evapotranspiration demand.
