 ABSTRACT

An analysis was carried out to study of rainfall variability (1971-2010) basis of different categories of number of rainy days (2.5-25, 25-50, 50-75, 75-100 and >100 mm) were used for analyzing of rainfall variability. The rainfall  (1971-2011) showed decreasing trend from 1971-2011 in Ludhiana, Roop Nagar, Hoshiarpur and Ferozpur). The probability of rainfall at different level of significance (90, 75, 50, 25, 10%) was computed highest probability rainfall was observed at 10% level and lowest rainfall probability was observed at 90% level of confidence. The study of drought, Faridkot (4), Mukatsar (4), Ludhiana (3), Sangrur (3) and Moga (3) highest time occur in these district of Punjab.

Keywords: Rainfall trend, Drought, Probability, Moving average, Variability
