Abstract:Groundwater overexploitation for agricultural irrigation is prone to lead to numerous ecological concerns. This study delved into the present distribution and recent trend of groundwater levels in the plain areas of the Hexi Corridor in Northwest China according to the groundwater level depth (GWD) data from 264 monitoring wells in the Shiyang River Basin (SYB) and 107 in the Shule River Basin (SLB), recorded annually in April from 2019 to 2023. The key findings include the following: (1) Over the five-year sp… Show more
