Issue 1

General

Alternatively, to other studies that used parametric distributions (e.g. Gamma) in the estimation of the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), this study aims to apply a nonparametric method based on Kernel Density Estimator (KDE) for calculating the SPI. Results of the proposed method were...

Hydrology and Water Resources Management

Water balance studies in the Okavango Delta indicate that more than 90% of inflow into the Delta is lost through evaporation. This coupled with high climatic variability threatens the ecohydrology of the Delta. Trends indicate decreasing rainfall amounts and increasing temperature at the area of the...

NITIKA MUNDETIA et al. View all

Issue 1

Climate change

Rainfall indices and Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) were obtained for Rajasthan State characterized as the most sensitive and vulnerable state in India. Daily rainfall data of 35 years (1971-2005) for 31 well-spread stations were used to generate critical area maps. From the analysis of...
