Despite the continually increasing global reservoir storage, the normalized storage—the ratio of the actual storage to the storage capacity—has declined over the past two decades, indicating diminishing storage returns from reservoir construction.
The statistical results are summarized in Supplementary Table 1. The global total reservoir storage shows a nearly continuous increase during the last two decades (Fig. 3), with a mean value of 4236.32 ± 181.64 km 3 (mean ± std) and a growth rate of 27.82 ± 0.08 km 3 /yr (Supplementary Table 2).
