As an important water resource, groundwater has been unreasonably developed for a long time in our country, causing a lot of problems. This paper combines the data from the national groundwater monitoring stations and the groundwater depth data collected locally to statistics and analysis of groundwater overexploitation across the country. Especially in key plains, through the water level variation method. The research results are compared and verified with national authoritative data such as Groundwater Dynamics Monthly Report and predecessors’ records in the literature, revealing the current key areas of groundwater overexploitation, and clarifying the importance and urgency of groundwater governance in the future. This study also put forward some suggestions of groundwater overexploitation.
