About the Cover

In this study, assessed the spatial-temporal variability of rainfall over the Kalaburgi District of Karnataka, India for the period 1981–2018, using gridded data with 0.5- degree resolution obtained from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration prediction of worldwide energy resource (NASA POWER) project. Trend detection and quantification in the rainfall and index evaluated using the non-parametric Mann–Kendall (MK) test and Sen’s slope estimator. Also, an investigation carried out to know the dry and wet years using Standardized Anomaly Index (SAI). The overall rainfall data and Sen’s estimate showed the decreasing trend in series for the last 38 years. SAI results show shows that 1981, 1995, 1998 and 2005 are incredibly wet years of widespread flooding in the region and 1985, 1999, 2003 and 2016 were found as extreme drought years for 1981 to 2018. In the overall, the spatial distribution analysis results observed the better distribution of rainfall in Aland, Chincholi, Sedam and part of Chittapur with a range from 800 to 900 mm and sparse distribution in the range of 600 to 700 mm over the Afzalpur, Jewargi, and part of Kalaburgi and Chittapur.
