Global sea level changes are also affected by changes in terrestrial reservoirs of liquid water. Withdrawal of groundwater and storage of fresh water through dam construction (Chao et al., 2008 <sup>[[#fn:r29|29]]</sup> ; Fiedler and Conrad, 2010 <sup>[[#fn:r30|30]]</sup> ) in the earlier parts of the 20th century dominated, leading to sea level fall, but in recent decades, land water depletion due to domestic, agricultural and industrial usage has begun to contribute to sea level change (Wada et al., 2017 <sup>[[#fn:r31|31]]</sup> ). Changes in terrestrial reservoirs may also be related to climate variability: in particular, the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has a strong impact on precipitation distribution and temporary storage of water on continents (Boening et al., 2012 <sup>[[#fn:r32|32]]</sup> ; Cazenave et al., 2012 <sup>[[#fn:r33|33]]</sup> ; Fasullo et al., 2013 <sup>[[#fn:r34|34]]</sup> ).
