Cover Story: Climate and land-use change impact catchment hydrology and water quality; however, research has not clearly identified the land-use change required to achieve specific water quality targets under future climate conditions. Our study investigated the effects of land use and climate change scenarios on the streamflow and nutrient loads of a New Zealand lake catchment. Our findings showed that increasing forest coverage resulted in reduced streamflow and nutrient loads, and land-use change strategies combined with climate change mitigation based on RCP8.5 would lead to the largest reduction in flow and nutrient loads. This research offers valuable insights into land-use change strategies for mitigating nutrient loads in lake catchments, providing a blueprint for similar regions experiencing land-use transformations.
