Hydrological simulation of a typical basin in central Vietnam under different land use scenarios

Changes in the land use and land cover in the Krong Buk basin had adversely affected the annual water resources in the region and hence, the optimal agricultural and human development of the basin had been hampered. The objective of this study is to apply the public domain semi-distributed rainfa...
