Surface water pollution driven by land use practices and soil erosion remains a persistent challenge in tropical river basins of East Africa. Despite its socio-economic importance, the transboundary Sio Malaba Malakisi River Basin (SMMRB), shared by Kenya and Uganda, lacks comprehensive data on spatial and seasonal water quality dynamics. This study provides the first year-long baseline assessment of surface water quality in t...

The article Hydrological modelling in the anthroposphere: predicting local runoff in a heavily modified high-alpine catchment, written by Johannes WESEMANN, Mathew HERRNEGGER and Karsten SCHULZ, was mistakenly originally published without open access. After publication in volume 15, issue 5, page 921-938 this was corrected and the article was made an open access publication. Therefore, the copyright of the article has been cha...

The Ruhezamyenda catchment in Uganda includes a unique lake, Lake Bunyonyi, and is threatened by increasing social and environmental pressures. The COSERO hydrological model was used to assess the impact of climate change on future surface runoff and evapotranspiration in the Lake Bunyonyi catchment (381 km 2 ). The model was forced with an ensemble of CMIP5 global climate model (GCM) simulations for the mid-term future (2041–...
