This study aimed to quantify the long-term, natural variability of groundwater storage worldwide by running three global hydrological models, each with three >50-year meteorological datasets. The results indicate that non-anthropogenic variability in groundwater storage capacity is measurable and substantial, and must therefore be accounted for when attempting to estimate human impacts.
