Impact of Artificial Reservoir Water Impoundment on Global Sea Level

By reconstructing the history of water impoundment in the world's artificial reservoirs, we show that a total of ~10,800 cubic kilometers of water has been impounded on land to date, reducing the magnitude of global sea level (GSL) rise by -30.0 millimeters, at an average rate of -0.55 millimet...
