  "abstract": "<p>As water is vital for life, analysis of water supply and demand in the basin is necessary.<br>\nThis will enable to formulate water allocation strategies and allocation principles for<br>\npresent and future planning. In this paper assessment of water supply and demands was<br>\nmodeled using the Water Evaluation and Planning model. The parameter Estimation Tool<br>\nwas used to calibrate and validate the model. Future water demand was estimated using<br>\nfour different scenarios namely Scenario-I: high population growth, Scenario-II: Dangur<br>\nhydropower, Scenario-III: Expansion of irrigation activities and Industries in Beles<br>\nbasin, and Scenario-IV: combination of scenario-I, scenario-II and scenario-III<br>\nSimultaneously. According to the result obtained from the model, the total estimated<br>\nmean annual surface runoff that leaves the basin is 5858.6 MCM, the estimated mean<br>\nannual actual evapotranspiration is 10017.13 MCM, the estimated mean annual<br>\nprecipitation is 17525.33 MCM, mean annual interflow is 962.37 MCM, mean annual<br>\nBase flow is 480.82 MCM, and mean annual flow to groundwater is 206.40 MCM. Total<br>\navailable annual streamflow including the Tana-Beles hydropower scheme is 10.03<br>\nBCM.</p>",
