Article Synopsis
- The Indian summer monsoon (ISM) plays a crucial role in India's annual rainfall, significantly affecting water resource management and the socio-economic conditions of over a billion people.
- This study assesses various gridded precipitation data products, comparing their effectiveness for hydrologic modeling, disaster management, and agricultural use, using Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) data as a benchmark.
- Findings show that APHRODITE, MSWEP, and CHIRPS are the top-performing datasets for rainfall analysis in India, with performance varying across different regions and climates.
Water security is a major concern in recent years, especially, in semi-arid and arid regions, which are adversely impacted due to extensive anthropogenic and climatic changes across the globe. Present study investigates the long-term changes in streamflows, their quantitative attribution and socio-environmental implications for a climatically sensitive Tapi basin in west central India. The abrupt and gradual changes in streamflows have been detected over the period 1973-2013 using non-parametric Pettit's and Mann-Whitney U tests; and Modified Mann-Kendall, Spearman's Rho and Sen's slope estimator tests respectively.
