Coupled Human–Climate drivers of groundwater storage decline in an arid inland river basin
• A double-downscaling framework reconstructed 1 km groundwater storage for 1990–2019. • Groundwater storage in the Heihe River basin declined significantly during 1990–2019. • Nighttime lights indicated the dominant driver of groundwater storage variation. • Human activities, climate, and vegetation interactions shaped groundwater loss.
