Synopsis

Following the increasing impacts of climate change and human land use activities on the water systems. The applications of the integrative process based ecohydrological models to quantify the spatial and temporal variability of water resources have become the most accurate and decision supporting tools for water resource management, planning and identification of the priority areas for sharpening socioeconomic development policies. This book provides a long-term understanding of the impact of climate variability and land use change on seasonal variability of water balance conditions for sustainable agriculture development, hydropower generation and ecosystem stability in the Lower Rufiji Basin. We applied the CoupModel and SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) hydrological model to assess and compare the impact of climate variability on the water balance. The outstanding explanations of the key concepts for modelling water balance variability in the CoupleModel and SWAT model should be useful to graduate students and researchers, and results of the predicted water balance conditions provide a policy relevance information for sustainable strategies toward climate change adaptation
