Zusammenfassung:This reply addresses concerns raised by Schilling (2016, doi:10.1002/2015WR018482) on Gupta et al. (2015a, doi: 10.1002/2015WR017323, 2015b, doi:10.1002/2015WR017323). To this end, we provide additional analysis of the Raccoon River flows in Iowa and show that both annual streamflow and baseflow are mainly controlled by precipitation. Key Points Increased precipitation is the main driver of increased streamflow Agricultural land use and land cover changes had minimal impacts on streamflow Incorrect assumptions in previous studies minimized precipitation impacts
