Detection and prediction of land use change impact on the streamflow regime in Sahelian river basin, northwestern Nigeria

Detecting and predicting the impact of land use/land cover (LULC) changes on streamflow are crucial sources of information for the effective management and protection of land and water resources in Sahelian ecosystems such as the Hadejia river basin. In this study, LULC change detection was performe...
