Comprehensive assessment and scenario simulation for the future of the hydrological processes in Dez river basin, Iran

Climate change is one of the leading factors that directly affect hydrological processes in large basins. This study assesses the impacts of climate change on streamflow, sediment and crop yield, actual evapotranspiration (AET), and water budget. In addition, the effects of land use and land cover (...
