Understanding the land use and land cover changes (LULCCs) and their\udimplication on surface hydrology of the Dinder and Rahad basins\ud(D&R, approximately 77 504 km<sup>2</sup>) is vital for the\udmanagement and utilization of water resources in the\udbasins. Although there are many studies on LULCC in the Blue Nile Basin, specific studies on LULCC in the D&R are still\udmissing. Hence, its impact on streamflow is unknown. The objective\udof this paper is to understand the LULCC in the Dinder and Rahad and\udits implications on streamflow response using satellite data and\udhydrological modelling. The hydrological model has been derived by\uddifferent sets of land use and land cover maps from 1972, 1986, 1998 and\ud2011. Catchment topography, land cover and soil maps are derived\udfrom satellite images and serve to estimate model\udparameters. Results of LULCC detection between 1972 and 2011\udindicate a significant decrease in woodland and an increase in\udcropland. Woodland decreased from 42 to 14 % and from 35 to\ud14 % for Dinder and Rahad, respectively. Cropland increased from\ud14 to 47 % and from 18 to 68 % in Dinder and Rahad,\udrespectively. The model results indicate that streamflow is affected\udby LULCC in both the Dinder and the Rahad rivers. The effect of\udLULCC on streamflow is significant during 1986 and 2011. This could\udbe attributed to the severe drought during the mid-1980s and the recent\udlarge expansion in cropland
