Rainfall data is a vital input for many ecosystem service modeling in general and hydrological modeling in particular. However, accurate rainfall data with sufficient spatiotemporal distribution is inadequate in the Blue Nile Basin (Ribb watershed) due to uneven distribution of rain gauge networks. Advances in remote sensing science have provided alternative sources of rainfall data with high spatiotemporal resolution.

Dramatic land use change caused by the rapid economic development in China has impacted the sediment export dynamics in the large basin. However, how land use change affects sediment export is still poorly understood. This study provided an integrated analysis of the relationships in a "three-level" chain linked as follows: "land use change → changes in sediment source and sediment delivery → sediment export change" for a better understanding.
