The medium river basins (MRBs) in Nepal originate from mid-hills. These medium-range rivers are typically non-snow-fed, relying on rain and other water sources. small, the sizes of vary between 500 5000 km2. MRBs often used for irrigation agricultural purposes. In this analysis, we first set up, calibrated, validated three hydrological models (i.e., HBV, HEC HMS, SWAT) at Kankai River Basin (one MRB eastern Nepal). Then, best-performing SWAT model was forced with cutting-edge climate (CMs) using thirteen CMIP6 under four shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs). We employed ten bias correction (BC) methods to capture local spatial variability precipitation temperature. Finally, likely streamflow alteration during two future periods, i.e., near-term timeframe (NF), spanning 2031 2060, long-term (FF), covering years 2071 2100, were evaluated against historical period (baseline: 1986–2014), considering uncertainties associated choice CMs, BC methods, or/and SSPs. study results confirm that there will not be any noticeable shifts seasonal variations future. However, magnitude is projected alter substantially. Overall, estimated upsurge upcoming periods. observed less deviation expected April, around +5 +7% more than baseline period. Notably, a higher percentage increment monsoon season (June–August). During NF (FF) period, flow +20% (+40%) lower SSPs, whereas +30% (+60%) SSPs high season. Thus, likelihoods flooding, inundation, discharge quite coming years.
