Changes in land surface water dynamics since the 1990s and relation to population pressure
Open accessAbstract
We developed a remote sensing approach based on multi‐satellite observations, which provides an unprecedented estimate of monthly distribution and area of land‐surface open water over the whole globe. Results for 1993 to 2007 exhibit a large seasonal and inter‐annual variability of the inundation extent with an overall decline in global average maximum inundated area of 6% during the fifteen‐year period, primarily in tropical and subtropical South America and South Asia. The largest declines of open water are found where large increases in population have occurred over the last two decades, suggesting a global scale effect of human activities on continental surface freshwater: denser population can impact local hydrology by reducing freshwater extent, by draining marshes and wetlands, and by increasing water withdrawals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
