Terrestrial water storage refers to the amount of water stored in various terrestrial reservoirs such as rivers, lakes, glaciers, soil moisture, and groundwater. Monitoring and understanding terrestrial water storage is important for various reasons, such as water resource management, flood forecasting, and understanding the water cycle. Researchers use various methods such as satellite monitoring, groundwater monitoring, and hydrological models to measure and study terrestrial water storage. By analyzing changes in terrestrial water storage, scientists can gain insights into the impacts of climate change, land use changes, and other environmental factors on the availability and distribution of water resources.
