Evaluation of Water Provision Ecosystem Services Associated with Land Use/Cover and Climate Variability in the Winike Watershed, Omo Gibe Basin of Ethiopia

Abreham Berta Aneseyee et al.

Summary: This research utilized the InVEST water yield model to analyze the spatial and temporal changes in water yield in the Winike watershed, finding significant increases in water yield mainly from built-up land, bare land, and forest land. Precipitation had a greater impact on water yield estimation compared with other input parameters.

Tropical peatlands and their contribution to the global carbon cycle and climate change

Kelly Ribeiro et al.

Summary: This paper provides an overview of tropical peatlands, highlighting their biophysical characteristics, distribution, carbon stock, role in the global climate, and the impacts of human disturbances on carbon accumulation rates and greenhouse gas emissions. Despite being a significant carbon sink, tropical peatlands are still under-researched, with gaps in knowledge regarding their distribution, depth, carbon stock, and fluxes.

Climate change impacts on water resources in the Upper Blue Nile (Abay) River Basin, Ethiopia

Daniel Mengistu et al.

Summary: This study used regional climate model (RCM), COSMO Climate Limited-area Model (CCLM), coupled with a hydrological model, Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), to assess the impact of climate change on water resources in the Upper Blue Nile River Basin. The results show that future climate change is projected to increase potential evapotranspiration and surface runoff, while decreasing total water yield of the Basin. Additionally, the contribution of baseflow to total water yield is expected to decline, which will have significant implications for water management in the Basin.

Modeling projected impacts of climate and land use/land cover changes on hydrological responses in the Lake Tana Basin, upper Blue Nile River Basin, Ethiopia

Birhan Getachew et al.

Summary: This study in Lake Tana Basin, Upper Blue Nile River Basin in Ethiopia, assesses the impacts of climate and land use/land cover change on water balance components. The hydrological response of the basin was evaluated under different scenarios for future time periods, showing potential increases in evapotranspiration, baseflow, and streamflow conditions due to changes in land use/land cover and climate. The results indicate changes in temperature, precipitation, evapotranspiration, and streamflow, with climate change having a greater impact on water balances than the combined effects of climate and land use/land cover change.

Hydrological cycle and water resources in a changing world: A review

Dawen Yang et al.

Summary: Water is a fundamental natural resource that supports life, ecosystems, and human society. Studying the water cycle is crucial for sustainable development, particularly in the context of global climate change. Better understanding the impacts of climate change and human activities on hydrological processes and water resources across temporal and spatial scales is essential. Systematic approaches for large basin studies and interdisciplinary research are needed to address the joint impacts of these factors and promote sustainable development in line with the United Nations' goals.

Modelling hydrological processes under climate change scenarios in the Jemma sub-basin of upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia

Gebrekidan Worku et al.

Summary: This study examines the response of hydrological processes to different climate change scenarios in the Jemma sub-basin of the Blue Nile Basin. The results suggest that climate change may lead to decreased precipitation, increased temperature, reduced surface runoff, total water yield, and increased evapotranspiration in the area. The study recommends water management structures to conserve water for agriculture and ecosystem services in the Jemma sub-basin and similar areas in Ethiopia.
