摘　　要：Despite the recognized influence of natural factors on groundwater,the impact of human activities remains less explored because of the challenges in measuring such effects.To address this gap,our study proposes an approach that considers carbon emissions as an indicator of human activity intensity and quantifies their impact on groundwater storage.The combination of carbon emission data and groundwater storage data for 17,152 grid cells over 16 years in 4 typical basins shows that they were generally negatively correlated,whereas both agriculture and aviation had positive impacts on groundwater storage.The longest impact from aviation and agriculture can even persist for 7 years.Furthermore,an increase of 1 Yg CO^(2)/km^(2) per second in emissions from petroleum processing demonstrates the most pronounced loss of groundwater storage in the Yangtze River Basin(approximately 4.1 mm).Moreover,regions characterized by high-quality economic development tend to have favorable conditions for groundwater storage.Overall,our findings revealed the substantial role of human activities in influencing groundwater dynamics from both temporal and spatial aspects.This study fills a crucial gap by exploring the relationship between human activities and groundwater storage through the introduction of a quantitative modeling framework based on carbon emissions.It also provides insights for facilitating empirical groundwater management planning and achieving optimal emission reduction levels.
