“…In the last years, the ever-increasing availability of hydrological models (Chen et al, 2005;Karlsson et al, 2016;Mango, Melesse, McClain, Gann, & Setegn, 2011;Pumo, Lo Conti, Viola, & Noto, 2017;Quilbe et al, 2007;Todd, Goss, Tripathy, & Harbor, 2007;van Roosmalen, Sonnenborg, & Jensen, 2009;Zhang, Nan, Xu, & Li, 2016) and data from observations (Pumo, Arnone, Francipane, Caracciolo, & Noto, 2017) has led to study the combined effect of climate change and urban growth on the hydrological response of a catchment. Most of these studies have demonstrated that the hydrological impacts of land-use change can be compounded or offset by changes in regional climate (Chawla & Mujumdar, 2015;Cuo, Lettenmaier, Alberti, & Richey, 2009;Pan et al, 2017;Pumo, Lo Conti, et al, 2017;Todd et al, 2007). For example, Todd et al (2007) found out that, in the analysed area, the land-use changes had a greater influence on watershed hydrology than climate.…”
