Dependence of Lowland Water Use on Mountain Runoff Globally: Interannual Variability and Future Changes at Seasonal Scale

Abstract Most of the global population lives in lowlands, where water demand is highest. Therefore, understanding the dependence of lowland regions on mountain water at a global scale is crucial as mountains provide an essential contribution to lowland water resources. Yet, interannual variability r...
