The study utilizes an integrated approach that involves GRACE and Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) data to analyze temporal water mass variations in Saudi Arabia (KSA). Recently, KSA has witnessed a historic wet period between 2018 and 2020 (i.e., 120–150 mm/year) following a prolonged dry period between 2002 and 2017 (i.e., 80–100 mm/year). Inspection of GRACE data showed a decline in groundwater recharge of −4 to −6 mm during the dry period. The depletion was reduced by 1 to 6.8 mm in the Northeastern side of KSA (e.g. Hail, Al-Jouf, Al-Hudud Ash-Shamaliyah areas) during the wet period. This impressive recovery has led to a groundwater recharge increase of 360 km3 in Hail, 174 km3 in Al-Jouf and 97 km3 in Al-Hudud Ash-Shamaliyah. The findings emphasize the notion that climate change will bring more frequent extreme climatic events to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and call for continuous monitoring of aquifers every year.
