With the estimated streamflow and socioeconomic scenarios drawn from survey data gathered, the impact of climate change on water resources availability for irrigation in the catchment was assessed using WEAP model. Observed climatic data from four stations were analysed.\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">The study also examined land use\/cover changes in the area. The findings showed<\/span>\u00a0a rising trend in temperature and potential evapotranspiration. No long-term trend in rainfall data was evident.\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">The study indicates a\u00a0<\/span>projected water stressed condition in the catchment due to climate change and rising\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\">water demand<\/span>. Significant decline in land cover over the past two decades was observed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wascal-uac.org\/thesis\/AndrewManobaLIMANTOL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author :\u00a0 LIMANTOL\u00a0 Andrew Manoba This study\u00a0used\u00a0Water Mass Balance approach and IHACRES model [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[60],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wascal-uac.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13688"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wascal-uac.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wascal-uac.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wascal-uac.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wascal-uac.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13688"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/wascal-uac.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13688\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13852,"href":"https:\/\/wascal-uac.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13688\/revisions\/13852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wascal-uac.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wascal-uac.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13688"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wascal-uac.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
