Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-37061-3, published online 22 March 2023

The original version of this Article contained an error in Fig. 5, in which the River names Chulym River (5c), Sutlej River (5h) and Paraná River (5f) were followed by basin names. This was un-necessary and the basin names have been removed. This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
