Good surface water quality is critical to human health and ecology. Land use determines the
surface water heat and material balance, which cause climate change and affect water …

Few factors are as important in determining water quality as land use/land cover (LULC).
Many land use activities, including agriculture, urban development, mining, and commercial …

The change in land use and land cover in upstream watersheds will change the features of
drainage systems such that they will impact surface overflow and affect the infiltration …

Communities are co** with changes in runoff quantity and quality, stemming mainly from
changes in climate and land use/land cover (LULC); there is a need to identify the most …

Urban areas are undergoing rapid expansion, resulting in diminished vegetation cover and
an escalating urban flood problem, and posing substantial threats to aquatic ecosystems …

Understanding the relationship between land use and water quality is essential for effective
watershed management. However, it remains challenging to identify such a relationship …

Hydrologic models such as the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) and the
Hydrologic Simulation Program-Fortran (HSPF) are widely used to evaluate the impacts of …

Understanding the relationships among multiple land use functions (LUFs) is crucial for land-
based spatial planning that can guide targeted land use policy-making in complex socio …

Land use and land cover (LULC) change impacts on hydrology and water quality are of
critical importance in regions where water quality is degraded. One such location is the …

The changes in runoff and sediment are the most active parts of river systems. Identifying the
