     abstract = "{This study investigated the attribution of terrestrial water storage
        (TWS) variations across China to changes in groundwater and
        human water use. As one vital storage component, the groundwater
        storage (GWS) derived from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's GRACE
        (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) mass concentration
        solution compared reasonably well with the in situ groundwater
        table depth, with the correlation coefficients ranging from
        -0.83 to -0.18, all of which were statistically significant at
        the 95\% confidence level. About 71\% of the trends in derived
        GWS had the same sign as those of observations, without
        systematic deviation, across China. The GWS variation
        contributed a large portion of the TWS trend in most regions of
        China, and the majority of contribution values reached
        50\%-150\% in the Hai River basin, the Loess Plateau, and the
        middle portion of the Yangtze River basin. The dominant role of
        GWS is closely related to the detected long-term ``memories'' in
        both TWS and GWS. The increase of irrigation consumption
        accelerated the TWS depletion trend by 13.4\% in the Huai River
        basin, while the decrease of consumptive agricultural water use
        alleviated the TWS decline rate by 4.1\% in the Hai River basin.
        Importantly, the correlation coefficients reached 0.74-0.95
        between the TWS change and the residual of precipitation,
        evapotranspiration, flow into the sea, and irrigation
        consumption in the four river basins of particular interest. The
        findings of this study are helpful for understanding regional
        water cycles in China.}",
