US Study Finds Diverging Groundwater and Streamflow Trends
Original: As Above, So Below? A Framework For Integrating Long-Term Water Quantity Trends Reveals Divergent Patterns In Groundwate
A new USGS-linked study published in a peer-reviewed journal presents a framework for integrating long-term water quantity trends across the United States, finding that groundwater levels and low streamflow show divergent patterns rather than moving in tandem. The findings carry implications for water management, drought preparedness and how aquifers and surface waters are monitored together.
Why now: Water scarcity and long-term hydrological change are pressing climate concerns, and the study offers new evidence that surface and groundwater do not follow the same trends.
