Residence time is a prominent driver of global river water storage
We estimate global river storage mean and monthly variability as 2246 ± 505 km3 and global continental flow as 37411 ± 7816 km3/yr. Our analysis results in the first global river water

6 FAQs about [River water storage]
What is surface water storage?
Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. Surface water storage (SWS), the amount of freshwater stored in rivers/wetlands/floodplains/lakes, and its variations are key components of the water cycle and land surface hydrology, with strong feedback and linkages with climate variability.
Why is surface water storage important?
Surface water storage (SWS), the amount of freshwater stored in rivers/wetlands/floodplains/lakes, and its variations are key components of the water cycle and land surface hydrology, with strong feedback and linkages with climate variability. They are also very important for water resources management.
Do river channels store large volumes of water?
River channels store large volumes of water globally, critically impacting ecological and biogeochemical processes. Despite the importance of river channel storage, there is not yet an observational constraint on this quantity.
What is continental water storage (TWS)?
Terrestrial water storage (TWS)—the sum of continental water stored in canopies, snow and ice, rivers, lakes and reservoirs, wetlands, soil and groundwater—is a critical component of the global water and energy budget.
Where is river water stored in the world?
On average, the majority of river water is stored in the Amazon (34% of global river water storage for uncorrected and 38% for corrected simulations), Congo (8%, 6%), Nile (5%, 5%) and South America north of the Amazon (for example, Orinoco, Catatumbo; 5%, 5%) basins (Fig. 5a).
How much water storage variation does a river have?
We created a 26 years record of this quantity across 26 of the world's largest rivers. We found that the storage variation in river main channels can represent up to 12.54% of the total water storage variation in a river basin despite only representing 0.2% of the total surface area.
