Abstract: AbstractWater resources management, in particular flood control, in the Lancang‐Mekong River Basin (LMRB) faces two key challenges in the 21st century: climate change and dam construction. A large‐scale distributed Geomorphology‐Based Hydrological Model coupled with a simple reservoir regulation model (GBHM‐LMK‐SOP) is used to investigate the relative effects of climate change and dam construction on the flood characteristics in the LMRB. Results suggest an increase in both flood magnitude and frequency under climate change, which is ...
