Propagation of CMORPH rainfall errors to REW streamflow simulation mismatch in the upper Zambezi Basin

Study region: This research is carried out in the Kabompo Basin, a headwater catchment of the Zambezi Basin which has an area of 67,261 km2. Kabompo River originates in North-Western Province of Zambia between the Zambezi and Congo River Basins. Study focus: This study focuses on error propagation o...
