Investigating the potential of a coupled hydro-meteorological seasonal forecasting system for streamflow and sediment transport in the Upper Blue Nile Basin (Ethiopia), upstream of the GERD dam, with a lead time of up to seven months. By combining the ECMWF-SEAS5 precipitation product with the hydro-sedimentological model WASA-SED and a downstream autoregressive bias-correction approach, results demonstrate that the system can reliably predict rainfall and streamflow on a seasonal scale.
