Predicting streamflow for land cover changes in the Upper Gilgel Abay River Basin, Ethiopia: A TOPMODEL based approach

Effects of changes in land use and climate on water availability of a tropical catchment

“…These findings regarding the relationship between changes in the percentages of different land use types and changes in the streamflow characteristics confirm those in earlier studies (e.g. Bruijnzeel, 1989;Brown et al, 2005;Wagner et al, 2013;Remondi et al, 2013;Gumindoga et al, 2014b;Marhaento et al 2017a;2017b).…”

Economic Valuation for Water Supply From Merapi Volcano National Park (Case Study: Kali Kuning Sub Watershed)

“…Grassland is also able to hold water and absorb it as recharge, but it is not as high as forest capability. It is also stated by Gumidonga et al (2014), he found that the land cover can delayed runoff by infiltration and resulting in the higher base flow.…”

“…The different water yield between two ecosystems is possible depending on vegetation coverage (Gumidonga et al, 2014). The difference between those values is in result of water yield in both areas.…”

“…It also declines in infiltration (Gumidonga et al, 2014) due to the reduction in surface roughness and litter (Baker and Miller, 2013). Furthermore, the deforestation scheme increases streamflow (Baker and Miller, 2013;Yan et al, 2013) because most of the precipitation becomes surface runoff rather than infiltration (Baker and Miller, 2013).…”

Simulation of the Effect of Land Cover Change on Water Balance and Sediment Yield of Wadi El Raml in the North Western Coast, Egypt

“…Recently many physically distributed models were employed to detect the spatial and temporal land cover changes on water resources e.g., MIKE SHE (Refsgaard andStorm, 1995 andIm et al, 2009), SWAT (Arnold, 1998 andPervez andHenebry, 2015), TOPMODEL (Beven andKirkby, 1979 andGumindoga et al, 2014). Miller et al, (2002) applied two hydrological models SWAT as a continuous simulation model and KINEROS (Smith et al, 1995) as an event oriented model, through the Automated Geospatial Watershed Assessment Tool (AGWA) to study the hydrologic responses of three watersheds to the land cover changes in four time periods 1973,1986,1992and 1997for the San Pedro River basin, and in 1975,1985,1991and 1998 for the Cannonsville watershed, USA.…”
