Hydroclimatic variables have changed globally mainly due to human intervention; those hydroclimatic changes alter the distribution behavior of rainfall and temperature at different scales. This study examined magnitude temporal spatial variation in Omo-Gibe River Basin (OGRB) using data from 1981 2016 river flow 2014. Mann-Kendall Sen's slope estimator trend test were used analyze trends rainfall, temperature, surface runoff, flow. The result shows variability has been higher northern...
