Abstract
Abstract Background Projecting future streamflow variation or the hydrological impact of climate change plays a pivotal role in the sustainable implication of planning water resources management. Therefore, this study predicts the potential of climate change’s impact on hydrological components in the Upper Awash Basin (UAB). The study applied a statistical downscaling model (SDSM) to generate future high-resolution climate data from the climate model output of the Canadian Second Generation Earth System Model (CanESM2) and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) under the representative concentration pathways (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) scenarios. To analyze the trend of future rainfall and temperature, non-parametric Mann-Kendall, Modified Mann-Kendall tests, Sen’s slope estimator, and changing point (Pettit) tests were used. The output of downscaled climate data is used as input to a calibrated and validated Soil and Water Assessment Tool (QSWAT) model to assess the impact of future climate change on UAB hydrology. Results The results show that annual rainfall and temperature are significantly increased (p < 0.05) in the UAB under RCP4.5 and 8.5 for the model ensemble mean for both short- and long-term scenarios. The change in the rainfall, the maximum and minimum temperature is mostly visible in the second period (the 2060s). Climate change is likely to cause persistent decreases in surface runoff (SUR_Q) and increases in actual evapotranspiration (ET) under all climate scenarios in the three periods. Reduction in SUR_Q despite an increase in rainfall could be due to an increment in both temperature and ET. The study also identified inconsistent seasonal changes in projected future precipitation that considerably impact overall climatic conditions. Conclusions This research is essential to develop an interdisciplinary approach that integrates environmental policies for the coherent use and management of water resources for future climate change and ecological protection in the basin, including other similar basins.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
