Evaluation of CFSR climate data for hydrologic prediction in data-scarce watersheds: an application in the Blue Nile River Basin
The study compared CFSR climate data against conventional weather data using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool to simulate streamflow in the Lake Tana basin. While conventional data performed better overall, CFSR data is identified as a valuable alternative for hydrological predictions in remote, data-scarce areas where gauges are unavailable.

Hydrological response to climate change for Gilgel Abay River in the Lake Tana Basin Upper Blue Nile Basin of Ethiopia
Using the Statistical Downscaling Tool (SDSM) and the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), the study projects that while the Gilgel Abay River may experience a decrease in precipitation and flow volume between 2010 and 2040, these trends are expected to reverse with significant increases by 2070-2100. Overall, climate change is projected to increase annual flow volume, potentially benefiting small-scale irrigation and dam projects, though low flow conditions are expected to remain largely unaffected.
