Percentage difference from reference scenario [0% deforestation within either the Xingu Basin (XB) or Amazon Basin (AB): 0% AB and 0% XB] in mean annual precipitation (Rainfall), discharge (Discharge), and corresponding energy generation potential (Power) under two local deforestation scenarios (20% and 40% deforestation of XB cleared, respectively) and three regional deforestation scenarios (0%, 15%, and 40% of AB cleared, respectively), with and without climate feedbacks. (20% XB: 20% of XB cleared; 40% XB: 40% of XB cleared; 0% AB: 0% of AB cleared; 15% AB: 15% of AB cleared; 40% AB: 40% of AB cleared.)
