     abstract = "{The crucial role of precipitation as a primary driver for terrestrial
        water cycle is well-established. However, quantifying the
        transformation of daily precipitation into terrestrial water
        storage remains a challenge. Here we address this by introducing
        a quantitative metric, average daily fraction of precipitation
        transformed into terrestrial water storage, providing an
        important advancement into the dynamics of water storage by
        utilizing the enhanced terrestrial water storage statistical
        reconstruction method and water storage data from the Gravity
        Recovery and Climate Experiment satellites and their follow-on
        mission. This study reveals that approximately 64\% of land
        precipitation contributes to terrestrial water storage in global
        121 river basins from 2002 to 2021, with evident variations
        observed across different climatic and geographical regions. Our
        findings deepen perception into the complex interactions between
        precipitation, land surface processes, and climate change,
        offering valuable implications for future water resource
        management and hydrological modeling.}",
