Interferometric Radar Satellite and In‐Situ Well Time‐Series Reveal Groundwater Extraction Rate Changes in Urban and Rural Afghanistan

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract Population growth, climate change, and a lack of infrastructure have contributed to an increase in water demand and groundwater exploitation in urban and rural Afghanistan, resulting in significant ground subsidence.
