Short summary

We assess the impact of future climate change on Dinder River streamflow (Sudan), and infer its relative possible effects on the Dinder National Park (DNP) ecosystem habitats. Four GCMs from CMIP5 and two statistical downscaling approaches combined with SWAT were used. Climate over the basin will become warmer and wetter and streamflow will likely increase; accordingly, the ecosystems in the DNP will be affected positively and promote the ecological restoration of the flora and fauna habitats.
