Abstract Climate change (CC) and land use/cover change (LUCC) are the main drivers of streamflow change. In this paper, we investigate the impact of climate and LULC change impact on stream flow of Guder catchment by using Soil and Water Assessment model (SWAT). The scenarios were designed in a way that LULC was changed while climate conditions remain constant; LULC was then held constant under a changing climate and combined effect of both. The result shows that, the combined impacts of...

&lt;p&gt;Performance-based funding of publicly-provided goods and services is an output-oriented system which is seen by many experts as a better way of improving efficiency and enhancing public accountability than reliance upon an input-based system. From the early 1980s, the goal has shifted in many OECD countries from accounting for expenditures to accounting for results. The shift gained momentum from movements to re-engineer business and reinvent government. Empirical studies of...
