  1. S is simulation scenarios, R is the mean monthly rainfall (mm), Q is mean monthly streamflow (mm), ET is mean monthly evapotranspiration (mm), Qs is mean monthly surface runoff (mm), Ql is mean monthly lateral flow (mm), and Qb is mean monthly base flow. ∆ is a relative change compared to the baseline scenario (S1). DJF is from December to February, MAM is from March to May, JJA is from June to August, SON is from September to November
