Assessing the impact of land use/land cover and climate changes on water stress in the derived savanna.

This assessment requires long-term observed rainfall time series and LULC spatial data. In order to assess the potential water stress, the study used long-term (1981–2007) rainfall data to drive the Pitman monthly rainfall–runoff model to assess changes in runoff for three selected basins: Asa, Ogun and Owena. In spite of the limitations in the availability of spatio-temporal hydro-meteorological data, the model results revealed commensurate increase in the runoff coefficient with decreases in forest cover between 1981 and 2000. Low runoff coefficients of 5.3%, 12.0% and 6.4% were recorded for Asa, Ogun and Owena basins based on C-CAM projection of low rainfall for 2010–2050. These indicated that in the future, water stress in Asa and Owena basins would be much higher, when compared with Ogun basin.enLand-useLand-coverClimate changeRainfallRunoffHydrological modellingWater stressDerived savannaConference PresentationAmidu, A., Evison, K., Alabi, S., Sjith, V., & Jimmy, A.
