Comparing GRACE and CWatM for the Danube basin, observing water storage changes since 1901 (A7)

Comparing GRACE and the hydrological model CWatM for the Danube basin. After observing a close relationship between the two, we look at changes in total water storage in the Danube basin from 1900 and notice decadal seasonality... to be continued.

✨UPDATE: We now recommend generally using limitAbstraction = False. This will allow for fossil water abstractions to satisfy demands -- fossil water abstractions are removed from total water storage (tws).

GRACE presents changes in total water storage relative to 2004 to 2009.999. To compare 
CWatM with GRACE, prepare similar results from CWatM: subtract CWatM total water storage from the mean CWatM total water storage between 2004 and 2009.999.
