TLDR
A comprehensive review of different approaches used by research community to isolate the impacts of climate change and human activities on streamflow is presented in this paper, where the important issues pertaining to different approaches, to make rational use of methodology, are discussed so that researcher and policymaker can understand the importance of individual methodology and its use in water resources management.

Prediction of land use changes based on Land Change Modeler and attribution of changes in the water balance of Ganga basin to land use change using the SWAT model.

TL;DR: Hydrologic regimes of the Ganga River basin have been assessed with landuse change and can be important tool in quantifying the changes in hydrological components in response to changes made in landuse in especially basins undergoing rapid commercialization.

Multiscale land use impacts on water quality: Assessment, planning, and future perspectives in Brazil.

TL;DR: An overview of the relationships between LULC and water quality in Brazil is provided, aiming at understanding the effects of different LULC types on water quality, how spatial and temporal scales contribute to these effects, and how such knowledge can improve watershed management and future projections.

Climate change, reforestation/afforestation, and urbanization impacts on evapotranspiration and streamflow in Europe.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors simulate the distribution of average evapotranspiration and streamflow at high resolution (1 km 2 ) by combining (a) a steady-state Budyko model for water balance partitioning constrained by long-term (lysimeter) observations across different land use types, (b) a novel decadal high-resolution historical land use reconstruction, and (c) gridded observations of key meteorological variables.

Runoff responses to afforestation in a watershed of the Loess Plateau, China

TL;DR: In this paper, a study was conducted during the period of 1956 to 1980 to evaluate runoff responses to afforestation in a watershed on the Loess Plateau with an area of 1·15 km2, using a paired watershed approach.

Prediction of land use changes based on land change modeler and attribution of changes in the water balance of Ganga basin to land use change using the SWAT model

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have assessed the hydrologic regimes of the Ganga River basin with landuse change and simulated the hydrological responses using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT).

A Non-Parametric Approach to the Change-Point Problem

TL;DR: In this paper, nonparametric techniques are introduced for the change point problem and exact and approximate results are obtained for testing the null hypothesis of no change for zero-one observations, Binomial observations, and continuous observations.

A review of catchment experiments to determine the effect of vegetation changes on water yield and evapotranspiration

TL;DR: In this paper, a summary and review of 94 catchment experiments shows that accumulated information on the effect of vegetation changes on water yield can be used for practical purposes, since no experiments, with the exception of perhaps one, have resulted in reductions in water yield with reductions in cover, or increases in yield, with increases in cover.

Response of mean annual evapotranspiration to vegetation changes at catchment scale

TL;DR: In this article, a simple two-parameter model was developed that relates mean annual evapotranspiration to rainfall, potential evapOTranspiration, and plant-available water capacity.

A review of paired catchment studies for determining changes in water yield resulting from alterations in vegetation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the use of paired catchment studies for determining the changes in water yield at various time scales resulting from permanent changes in vegetation and highlight the potential underestimation of water yield changes if regrowth experiments are used to predict the likely impact of permanent alterations to a catchment's vegetation.
