     abstract = "{Groundwater-level fluctuations represent hydraulic responses to changes
        in groundwater storage due to aquifer recharge and drainage as
        well as to changes in stress that include water mass loading and
        unloading above the aquifer surface. The latter `poroelastic'
        response of confined aquifers is a well-established phenomenon
        which has been demonstrated in diverse hydrogeological
        environments but is frequently ignored in assessments of
        groundwater resources. Here we present high-frequency
        groundwater measurements over a twelve-month period from the
        tropical, fluvio-deltaic Bengal Aquifer System (BAS), the
        largest aquifer in south Asia. The groundwater level
        fluctuations are dominated by the aquifer poroelastic response
        to changes in terrestrial water loading by processes acting over
        periods ranging from hours to months; the effects of groundwater
        flow are subordinate. Our measurements represent the first
        direct, quantitative identification of loading effects on
        groundwater levels in the BAS. Our analysis highlights the
        potential limitations of hydrogeological analyses which ignore
        loading effects in this environment. We also demonstrate the
        potential for employing poroelastic responses in the BAS and
        across other tropical fluvio-deltaic regions as a direct, in-
        situ measure of changes in terrestrial water storage to
        complement analyses from the Gravity and Climate Experiment
        (GRACE) mission but at much higher resolution.}",
