     abstract = "{The Colorado River Basin (CRB) is experiencing persistent aridification
        due to a complex interplay of natural and anthropogenic
        activities, resulting in significant groundwater depletion
        across the region. We used over two decades of NASA GRACE and
        GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO) observations (April
        2002{\textendash}October 2024), land surface models and observed
        data, to document pronounced groundwater depletion in the CRB.
        We estimate that the CRB lost 52.2 {\ensuremath{\pm}} 4.0
        km$^{3}$ of terrestrial water storage over the study period, of
        which groundwater accounted for 65\% (34.3 {\ensuremath{\pm}}
        9.2 km$^{3}$). Of this, the Upper Basin lost 14.6
        {\ensuremath{\pm}} 3.5 km$^{3}$ of terrestrial water storage
        (53\% from groundwater, 7.8 {\ensuremath{\pm}} 5.3 km$^{3}$)
        while the Lower Basin lost 36.0 {\ensuremath{\pm}} 6.2 km$^{3}$
        of terrestrial water storage (71\% from groundwater, 25.5
        {\ensuremath{\pm}} 7.4 km$^{3}$). Progress toward groundwater
        sustainability could be achieved by reducing annual extraction
        in line with the annual depletion rates presented here (0.35
        km$^{3}$/yr in Upper Basin and 1.15 km$^{3}$/yr in the Lower
        Basin).}",
