Future transition in climate extremes over Western Ghats of India based on CMIP6 models.

The effect of climate change on the tropical river catchments in the Western Ghats of India is studied using the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project-6 data (CMIP-6). Multi-model ensembles of rainfall and temperature are constructed using the Random Forest ensemble technique for bias-corrected GCMs in the near future (2014-2050) and far future (2051-2100) horizons. For the two catchments each in the southern, central, and northern Ghats, the trend in minimum and maximum temperatures, precipitation, and other indices are calculated.

Land cover change and its implication to hydrological regimes and soil erosion in Awash River basin, Ethiopia: a systematic review.

The Awash River basin is one of the most developed basins in Ethiopia, and its water resources are crucial to development. The collective impact of land cover (LC) changes has driven a difference in the hydrological components, substantially impacting the availability of water resources and demand. This review aimed (i) to examine the extent of change quantitatively and its effects; (ii) to analyze the relationship with a mean annual rainfall that would further reveal the causes and potential LC type response to hydrologic variables in the Awash River basin, Ethiopia.
