     abstract = "{Haryana, situated in northern India, experiences a semi-arid to arid
        climate and faces significant challenges related to groundwater
        depletion (GWD). The state's agricultural sector, heavily
        reliant on groundwater for irrigation, contributes significantly
        to its over-exploitation, further exacerbating the issue of
        groundwater. Geospatial techniques have emerged as powerful
        tools for monitoring and analysing groundwater storage (GWS)
        variations in spatial and temporal domains. Satellite data,
        particularly from the gravity recovery and climate experiment
        (GRACE), provides valuable insights into terrestrial water
        storage (TWS) and its components, including groundwater. In this
        study, GRACE RL06 data and global land data assimilation system
        (GLDAS) and Noah land surface model were utilized to evaluate
        the spatial and temporal variations in GWS across Haryana from
        2003 to 2023. The results were validated using ground-based data
        from the central ground water board (CGWB) to ensure accuracy.
        The study reveals that, there has been a consistent decline in
        GWS across Haryana, with some areas experiencing drops of over
        200 mm in GWS. In particular, the southern parts of Haryana,
        where agricultural water use is particularly high, showed the
        most significant declines in GWS. The analysis of TWS reveals a
        significant decline in GWS, with an average annual depletion of
        12 mm per year. Seasonal variations were found to be prominent,
        with the most substantial declines occurring during the winter
        and spring months. The average GWD was found to be approximately
        11.3 mm per year in Haryana. The spatial distribution maps of
        GWS further emphasize the depletion in key agricultural
        districts such as Mahendragarh and Kurukshetra, where the rate
        of groundwater extraction exceeds the rate of recharge.}",
