Sensitivity of Surface Runoff to Drought and Climate Change: Application for Shared River Basins

Sensitivity of Surface Runoff to Drought and Climate Change: Application for Shared River Basins

This study quantifies the sensitivity of surface runoff to drought and climate change in the Diyala watershed shared between Iraq and Iran. This was achieved through a combined use of a wide range of changes in the amount of precipitation (a decline between 0% and −40%) and in the potential evapotra...
