Cover Story: The impact of climate and land use/land cover (LULC) change continues to threaten water resources availability for agriculturally used inland valley wetlands and their catchments in East Africa. LULC management and climate change will individually cause changes in the water balance components of inland valleys. More pronounced changes are expected if the drivers are combined, although future LULC management will have a significant influence on the catchment hydrological processes. The adoption of functional landscape management approaches like conservation, slope conservation, and protection of the headwater catchment would reduce climate change impacts on the inland valley water resources, thus increasing the availability of water resources for human consumption and agricultural production in the inland valleys.
