Aggressive exhaustion of non-renewable water has led to a suite of environmental and socio-economic problems across the country. Nevertheless, the understanding of Iran’s water loss is still incomplete due to a lack of conclusive data. In this study, we employ satellite gravimetry observations, in-situ and globally precipitation data, and gauged groundwater level to investigate the total water storage (TWS) loss in Iran over the last two decades.
