“…Population increase is a variable that leads to substantial changes in the Spatio-temporal variation of land use and contributes to the loss of water bodies and green areas (Barreto-Martin et al 2021). Additionally, anthropogenic heat release can be related to the population and its per capita energy use; the pattern of energy use impacts the heat generated by anthropogenic sources.…”

Rapid urbanization contributes to the development of phenomena such as climate variability, especially in tropical countries, which negatively impact ecosystems and humans, factors that influence urban sustainability. Additionally, the increase of building construction prevents the flow of wind streams contributing to the retention of pollutants and hot air masses, causing events such as urban heat islands (UHI). This study aimed to analyze from the micro-territorial level, the influence of urban growth on the UHI phenomenon over the last two decades in the locality of Kennedy, in Bogotá, Colombia. For this purpose, environmental and socio-economic factors were evaluated. For the former, Landsat satellite images and spectral indices were used to evaluate the spatial-temporal variation in the quantity and quality of vegetation, bodies of water, urbanized areas, impervious surfaces, as well as to calculate the land surface temperature and its distribution in the study area. With regard to the socio-economic factors, the variables considered for analysis were population density and energy consumption. Lastly, a principal component analysis was carried out to identify possible associations between the variables and to identify the contribution of each micro-territory to the UHI phenomenon in the study area. The spatio-temporal variations reveal a growing trend over time, especially in impermeable areas where several economic activities, vehicular traffic, and population density converge, which require certain actions to be prioritized in territorial planning and the addition of public green spaces in urban zones.

“…In Colombia most of the hydrological modeling efforts have focused on the Magdalena-Cauca macro basin, which drains an area 254,0000 km 2 of the Andean region and it is considered the most important basin in the country. Some applications of hydrology modeling in Colombia includes management practices in agriculture using SWAT model (Uribe et al 2018), land cover and land use changes impact in hydrology response using SWAT (Villamizar et al 2019, Barreto-Martin et al 2021, the impact of climate change and deforestation in Magdalena-Cauca using WaterWorld model (Rodríguez et al 2020), flash flood event in an ungauged basin using TETIS model (Velásquez et al 2020), the impact of satellite rainfall products on streamflow simulations using Elementary Watershed (REW) and HBV-96 models (Elgamal et al 2017, López et al 2018, the impact of hydropower development on wetlands using WEAP model (Angarita et al 2018) and the groundwater recharge under different rainfall scenarios using TETIS model (Jimenez et al 2022).…”

The Andean region of Colombia, characterized by hydrometeorological extreme events and watershed complex topography, give rise to the main rivers of the Colombia fluvial network, essential for agriculture, ecosystems, consumption, and hydropower generation. Therefore, promote hydrology research and direct policy making towards sustainable and integrated water resources management for the Andean region is needed. This study evaluates the spatially lumped Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting (SAC-SMA) model for 12 Colombian watersheds located in the Andean region with different climate regimes and geomorphological features. The model inputs include rainfall and streamflow data from gauges stations and potential evapotranspiration and land cover satellite-based data. The model calibration was performed using a Multistep Automatic Calibration Scheme coupled with the Shuffled Complex Evolution optimization algorithm. SAC-SMA Model performance was evaluated with Nash-Sutcliffe, Kling–Gupta efficiency, and Percent Bias. The model shows good performance, exhibiting NSE values > 0.5, KGE > 0.5 and Bias ±18% for the calibration period. Streamflow is underestimated for all watersheds in the calibration period and underestimated as well in the validation in 7/12 watersheds, however, the calibrated model was able to predict the observed outputs with reasonable accuracy. Correlation analysis show an impact of the watershed slope on the factors that control the different types of flows. The model results show the capabilities of SAC-SMA on representing the hydrograph recession and estimation of the baseflow in the study watersheds. This study provides information for land-use planning, agriculture, flood and drought risk management and water resources management in the Andean region.

“…Numerous scholars have conducted studies on the impact of LUCC on streamflow and hydrological factors using the SWAT model. For example, studies showed that vegetation degradation such as agricultural land, grassland, and forest, as well as the increase of urban land, would all lead to a significant increase in streamflow or surface runoff [17][18][19][20]. The conversion of grassland to cultivated land resulted in an increase of flow, and the transformation from forest land to cultivated land, grassland to cultivated land, and grassland to forest land all weakened the regulation and storage capacity and easily changed the water yield of the sub-basin [21].…”

The effects of climate change and of land use/cover change (LUCC) on streamflow as demonstrated by hydrological models are pressing issues on the frontiers of global environmental change research. The Nandu River Basin (NRB) as the largest of three river basins on the tropical Hainan Island, China, is subjected to an analysis of streamflow response to climate and to land-use change. It is based on the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) coupled with climate change signals extracted from the global climate model data in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) and with land-use change scenarios modeled by Cellular Automata (CA)—Markov. The results are summarized as follows: (1) Climate change contributed more to streamflow change than land-use change in the NRB, with contributions of 97.57% and 2.43%, respectively. Precipitation and temperature were the most important climate variables, contributing 92.66% and 4.91% to streamflow change. (2) In the tropical island basin from 1990 to 2015, LUCC regulated the hydrological processes in the NRB and affected hydrological processes by increasing evapotranspiration and decreasing surface runoff and subsurface flow, which resulted in decreasing streamflow. (3) Under the climate change and land-use change scenarios of the near-term period (2021–2040), the annual streamflow decreased as during the reference period (1995–2014); particularly, it decreased most (−6.16%) on the SSP126 path. These results present a case study for understanding the hydrological cycle of tropical island basins and to provide a theoretical basis for water resources management and regional sustainable development of tropical islands.
