AbstractGroundwater resources are vital to ecosystems and livelihoods. Excessive groundwater withdrawals can cause groundwater levels to decline1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, resulting in seawater intrusion11, land subsidence12,13, streamflow depletion14,15,16 and wells running dry17. However, the global pace and prevalence of local groundwater declines are poorly constrained, because in situ groundwater levels have not been synthesized at the global scale.

The fact that the global climate crisis is essentially a water crisis is clear to see. Climate action thus requires strong commitment to better managing this essential resource. And being the largest store of fresh and unfrozen water, globally, groundwater plays a significant role in our adaptation to climate change and variability. Specifically in Bangladesh, groundwater is an important natural resource upon which our water and food security is critically dependent.
