Catchments characteristics, such as geomorphology, geology, soil, land use, and climatic variables, play an important role in total stream flow responses, a critical resource for people and the environment. Most of the previous literatures were applied a conventional statistical regression model to assess the relationship between landscape-climate descriptors, and streamflow and PET. However, a conventional statistical regression model didn’t consider dependence of explanatory variables that were collected or extracted across both space and time. This paper investigated the impacts of landscape attributes and climate variables on catchment scale temporal variation of total streamflow and spatio-temporal variation of potential evapotranspiration (PET) in the Mille catchment using multiple linear regression techniques, and the importance of this study was to test spatial autocorrelation in the spatial regression model which is required to properly assess and quantify the relationship between hydrological regime response components and Landscape-climate descriptors in a catchment with topographically complex, and high spatio-temporal climatic variation like in our case study area, the Mille catchment. Statistical regression analysis revealed significant relationships between streamflow and climate variables, especially with rainfall. Mean maximum temperature is the most dominant factor controlling temporal variation of potential evapotranspiration at a monthly scale, whereas NDVI is the most significant factor that controls the spatial variability of PET. The multiple regression model shows that 91.1% of temporal variation in streamflow was accounted for rainfall, whereas, 96.6% and 78.4% of temporal and spatial variation in potential evapotranspiration was accounted for in maximum temperature and NDVI, respectively. Methods also can be applied to catchments with similar landscape attributes and climate variables.

In the topographic complex catchments, landscape features have a significant impact on the spatial prediction of rainfall and temperature. In this study, performance assessments were made of various interpolation techniques for the prediction of the spatial distribution of rainfall and temperature in the Mille and Akaki River catchments, Ethiopia, through an improved approach on selecting the auxiliary variables as a covariate. Two geostatistical interpolation techniques, ordinary kriging (OK) and kriging with external drift (KED), and one deterministic interpolation technique, inverse distance weighting (IDW), were tested through a leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) procedure. The results indicated that using the multivariate geostatistical interpolation technique (KED) with the auxiliary variables as a covariate outperformed the univariate geostatistical (OK) and deterministic (IDW) techniques for the spatial interpolation of sampled rainfall–temperature data in both contrasting catchments, Akaki and Mille, with the lowest estimation errors (e.g., for Mille annual mean rainfall: root mean square error=75.32, 77.34, 245.72, mean bias error=3.70, −33.18, −15.61, mean absolute error=67.99, 69.51, 192.64) using KED with the combination of elevation and easting as a covariate, IDW and OK, respectively. Thus, the study confirmed that the use of elevation and easting/northing coordinates as predictors in geostatistical interpolation techniques could significantly improve the spatial prediction of climatic variables.
