Abstract:Guanzhong is one of the important industrial and agricultural developed areas in ‘One Road and One Belt’. It is necessary to monitor and analyze groundwater storage (GWS) variations in this area to reveal the characteristics of GWS, which is of great importance for economic and social development. Firstly, based on the gravity field model from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite data from 2003 to 2014, the combined filter and method of single-scale factor are applied to invert the terrestrial water storage (TWS) variations in the Guanzhong area. Then by subtracting the results of GLDAS average surface water from TWS, GWS variations in this area are determined. Finally, the correlation between TWS and GLDAS is analyzed, and the GWS variations are compared with that from the WGHM groundwater model and well observations. The results show that (1) the TWS variations in the Guanzhong area have a strong correlation with the GLDAS model (VIC, NOAH, CLM, and MOSIC). The most correlation coefficients between them are greater than 0.7, whereas the correlation coefficient between the model average and TWS is up to 0.8. (2) During 2003 to 2008, GWS in the Guanzhong area showed a positive growth trend, and the increase rate was 0.25 cm·a-1, which is consistent with the trend of well observations in the same period. However, there was a long-term depletion of GWS from 2003 to 2013, and the depletion rate is -0.37 cm·a-1, which agrees well with the WGHM estimation result of -0.35 cm·a-1 for the same period. (3) There are obvious annual variation characteristics of GWS in the Guanzhong area. The rate of GWS depletion during 2003 to 2014 was -0.44 cm·a-1, which was in good agreement with the rainfall in this area, while during the drought years, i.e., 2008, 2012 and 2013, GWS also decreased significantly.
