Short summary
This paper examines the complex interactions and feedbacks between many variables and processes within Owo catchment and analyses the future ability of this semi-urban watershed in sustaining water supply in the face of cumulative environmental change. Total length of streams within the catchment reduced from 622.24 km in 1964 to 556 km in 2010, while stream density reduced from 0.53 in 1964 to 0.47 in 2010 an indication of shrinking hydrological network.
