a geographical information of the ___domain of interest. The global map data was provided by Google Earth. b water volume change over 2002–2023 (water volume change =  trend slope × number of years × area of sandy land). Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals for each water storage trend. c–f trends of water storage over the sandy lands. The shaded blue area represents 1σ error of TWS. The dashed line represents the best fit linear trend. Slopes with and without asterisks indicate the slopes are significant and insignificant at 0.01 level, respectively.
