  abstract = {{C}limate and land use/cover changes are potential drivers of change in hydrology and water use. {I}ncidences of these factors on {B}andama hydrological basin and {K}ossou hydropower generation (1981-2016) in {W}est {A}frica are assessed in this present work. {U}sing {L}andsat products of {U}nited {S}tated {G}eological {S}urvey, results show that water bodies areas and land use have increased by 1.89%/year and 11.56%/year respectively, whereas herbaceous savanna, savanna, forest and evergreen forest coverage have been reduced by 1.39%/year, 0.02%/year, 2.39%/year and 3.33%/year respectively from 1988 to 2016. {H}ydroclimatic analysis reveals that streamflow presents greater change in magnitude compared to rainfall though both increasing trends are not statistically significant at annual scale. {S}treamflow varies at least four (two) times greatly than the rainfall (monthly and seasonally) annually except during driest months probably due to land use/cover change. {I}n contrast, {K}ossou hydropower generation is significantly decreasing (p-value 0.007) at both monthly and annual scales possibly due to water abstraction at upstream. {F}urther works are required to elucidate the combined effects of land use/cover and climate changes on hydrological system as well as water abstraction on {K}ossou generation.},
