Short summary
Rivers are vital sources of freshwater, but long-term records of how much water they carry are unavailable for many regions. This study combined satellite imagery with observations from more than 1000 river gauges to create the most comprehensive daily river discharge dataset for China (1990–2024). The dataset reveals widespread declines in river discharge across much of the country and provides an important resource for water management, environmental research, and future satellite missions.
