                         the southwestern Amazon on local hydroclimate. For this purpose, a 
                         high-resolution mesoscale model, coupled with a land surface model 
                         and a hydrologic routing model, is integrated for five years in 
                         two experiments, one control without changes in land use and 
                         another changing land use annually. During the rainy season, 
                         simulated higher precipitation volumes are reduced with the 
                         expansion of pasture lands. In the dry periods, mainly in August, 
                         there is an increase in precipitation over some deforested areas, 
                         which can be associated with mesoscale circulations induced by the 
                         heterogeneous surface. In general, land-use changes reduce 
                         evapotranspiration and the net radiation at the surface and 
                         increase the sensible heat flux during the dry season. In the 
                         rainy period, there is an increase in evapotranspiration with the 
                         intensification of deforestation, which modifies the other 
                         components of energy balance. Results suggest that the impact of 
                         LUCC on the local climate is more affected by conditions that 
                         generate precipitation extremes (El Niņo/La Niņa events) than by 
                         the abrupt increase in the annual deforestation rate. Land-use 
                         changes reduce the streamflow in all sub-basins of Ji-Parana 
                         during the dry season. In the rainy season, LUCC increases the 
                         streamflow during periods with normal precipitation conditions and 
                         La Niņa in almost all sub-basins, except in the sub-basin with 
                         more than 20% deforestation.",
