 Abstract: Global hydro-climatic trends are ambiguous, challenging the management of water resources. This challenge is addressed in the current study by investigating the impacts of hydro-climatic trends and upstream water management on hydropower generation at the Bagré dam. Modified Mann–Kendall trend test, Standard Normal Homogeneity Test and Pettit test were applied to some selected hydro-climatic variables for the trend and the change year detection, whereas the relationship between upstream dam management, hydro-climatic variables and hydropower were assessed through the Spearman correlation. The results revealed an annual positive trend for all hydro-climatic variables except for water level, lake evaporation and outflow. The break years observed in hydropower generation (2002) and inflow (2006) were mainly due to the construction of the Ziga dam in 2000 and its management change in 2005, respectively. The study also showed that hydropower generation declines each May (−30.36 MWh) and June (−16.82 MWh) due to the significant increase in irrigation withdrawals (1.94 hm3 in May and 0.67 hm3 in June). The results of this study highlighted the non-linearity in the relationship between hydropower generation and hydro-climatic variables as none of the correlation coefficients (apart from turbine) are very strong (>0.8). As many human activities occurred in the basin, further research should be focused on the use of semi-distributed models to assess the impacts of water-use and land-use change on hydropower generation.
