Abstract
The hydrological functions of river catchments are affected by numerous natural and man-made changes. Climate
change is also one among them that has a complex effect on river basins. The river basins are vulnerable to natural
and anthropogenic disruptions, changes in land use and land cover, and changes in hydrological characteristics
because of water resources developments. The present study utilized hydrological modelling and remote sensing
methods to determine the catchment response due to LULC changes at spatial and temporal scales for a river basin
in Ethiopia. The study envisages hydrological assessment of LULC and climate change within the water resources
development scenarios of the Omo Gibe Basin in Ethiopia.
