Impacts of land use and land cover change on surface runoff, discharge and low flows: Evidence from East Africa

Region: East Africa. Focus: A review of catchment studies (n = 37) conducted in East Africa evaluating the impacts of Land Use and Land Cover Changes (LULCC) on discharge, surface runoff, and low flows. New hydrological insights: Forest cover loss is accompanied by increased stream discharges and su...
