The Naoli River Basin(NRB),a pivotal agricultural production area in China,is poised to undergo substan-tial impacts on water resources due to projected climate and land use/cover(LULC)changes.Despite its significance in the context of China's expanding farmland construction in the NRB,there exists limited research on the potential repercussions of future shifts in runoff,soil water content(SWC),and evapo-transpiration(ET)on crop productivity and water availability(both in terms of quantity and timing).This study employs future LULC maps and an ensemble of ten CMIP6 Global Climate Models(GCMs)across three scenarios to drive the well-calibrated distributed hydrological model,ESSI-3.The objective of present study is aimed on projecting hydrological consequences under climate and land use/land cover changes in near-term(2026-2050),middle-term(2051-2075),and far-term(2076-2100)future in com-parison to the baseline period of 1990-2014.Results consistently indicate an increase trend in annual average ET,runoff,and SWC in the NRB across all three future periods under the three SSP scenarios.LULC changes emerge as the primary driver influencing regional hydrological processes in the near future.Notably,under high-emission scenarios,monthly runoff and SWC are projected to significantly increase in March but decrease in April during the middle and far future periods compared to the base-line.This shift is attributed to the anticipated warming of winter and spring,leading to a transition in peak snowmelt from April to March.Concurrently,the expansion of cropland intensifies crop evapotran-spiration demand,potentially exacerbating water stress during the early stages of crop growth in April.The findings underscore the importance of addressing the substantial impacts of climate change and land use planning on regional water cycling processes.Early planning to mitigate water shortages during the initial stage of future crop growth is crucial for ensuring food security and managing water-related chal-lenges in the NRB and neighboring mid-high latitude regions.
