A significant land use change has been observed in the Tekeze dam catchment. The main objective of this study was to estimate the potential impacts of the land use land cover (LULC) dynamics on hydrological response (stream flow and sediment yield). This was done by integrating SWAT model with GIS.

Explanation:
In this regard, land use/land cover plays a vital role in water transport in the hydrologic cycle and primarily aids in reducing overland flows. Due to its effect on evaporation, transpiration, and solar radiation interception, LULC is a driving factor in the energy balance within the hydrologic cycle (Tadese, 2014).
