Comment
From the Annual Rainfall/Runoff time series, considering the last 38 years, 1992 was the year
when the sum of the mean was highest whereas it was lowest in the years 2004, and 2010.
Further, the precipitation pattern is irregular, demonstrating a spatially inconsistent trend (Aziz et
al., 2014).
Catchment characteristics
Land use in the region has a potential effect on flooding (Delgado et al., 2018). The ways in
which it affects impacts flooding is through the removal of soil and vegetation, construction of
run-offs, which promote the runoffs, as well as the grading of the land surface. Sustainable
strategies would be employed to avert flooding (Doblas‐Reye et al., 2013). Additionally, the

removal of vegetation will likely increase the surface runoff, and impacting flooding. Trees
should be planted to help in the interception process (Eisner et al., 2017).
