Abstract
Land-use change is one of the major factors that alter local and regional hydrology. A land-use forecast model to simulate deforestation and urbanization sites was developed in GIS based on local land-use change trends. The model was applied to 2003 land-use to forecast 2033 land-use. The entire approach from land-use forecast could help local stakeholders understand watershed-wide future water resources risks and develop future water resources plans. The Sekong, Sesan, and Srepok (3S) Sub-basins, a part of the Lower Mekong River Basin including land in Cambodia, Laos, and Viet Nam, were used as a study area.[This abstract is not included in the PDF]
