Abstract
Groundwater is widely used for domestic and agricultural purposes, but is subject to increasing risks from overexploitation. Responding to this global significance, we recently defined a safe and just Earth system boundary (ESB) for groundwater1 and, in the absence of a consistent data source on baseline aquifer volumes, used derived estimates of groundwater storage (GWS) from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission data to assess the state of the Earth system with respect to the ESB for groundwater.
