     abstract = "{Climate change and anthropogenic activities have intensified extreme
        weather events globally. In the summer of 2022, the Yangtze
        River Basin (YRB) in China experienced an extreme drought,
        significantly impacting the ecosystems and society. However, the
        specific effects of this extreme drought on surface and
        subsurface hydrological dynamics remain unclear. Here we
        employed satellite-observed terrestrial water storage anomaly
        (TWSA) and a modified hydrological model with consideration of
        reservoir operation, human water consumption, and water
        diversion engineering to quantify how subsurface and surface
        water in YRB responded to such an extreme drought in 2022.
        Validation against a series of observations shows that the
        modified model has good performance in reproducing daily
        streamflow, reservoir water storage, lake water storage, and
        snow water equivalent. It achieved more precise GRACE TWSA
        estimates in the YRB with significant human intervention, and
        therefore it can accurately quantify both surface and subsurface
        hydrological responses to the 2022 extreme drought. Compared to
        the same months (July-December) in 2015{\textendash}2021, the
        drought in 2022 resulted in a decrease in precipitation and
        discharge of 373 km<SUP loc=``post''>3</SUP> (36 \%) and 324
        km<SUP loc=``post''>3</SUP> (50 \%), respectively, while an
        increase in evapotranspiration of 156 km<SUP
        loc=``post''>3</SUP> (29 \%) in the YRB. In general, the surface
        water storage (SWS) is relatively low from July 2022, followed
        by subsurface water storage (SSWS) from August 2022, indicating
        an approximately one-month lag from the former to the latter.
        During the latter half year of 2022, the SWS and SSWS reduced by
        48 km<SUP loc=``post''>3</SUP> and 83 km<SUP
        loc=``post''>3</SUP>, respectively, suggesting the changes in
        the latter dominated the TWS variations. This study sheds light
        on the responses of surface and subsurface hydrology to extreme
        droughts, and the hydrological modeling framework with
        consideration of human activities proposed here holds
        applicability beyond the YRB.}",
