Appendix 3 <strong>Kshipra</strong> <strong>Sub</strong> <strong>Basin</strong> 14<br />
Figure 19: Time Series of Annual Droughts with 10mm threshold in Kharif Season<br />
14. The time series of annual droughts with a 10 mm threshold in the Kharif season on IMD grids in the<br />
<strong>Kshipra</strong> basin are shown in Figure 19. There is no evidence changes in drought characteristics, and<br />
generally similar conditions are experienced across the whole catchment. The records analysed are not<br />
considered long enough to establish the existence of long term trend, and for this reason statistical tests<br />
have not been carried out.<br />
F. Trends in Annual and Seasonal Rainfall<br />
15. Tests for trend have been made with two IMD raingauges in the <strong>Kshipra</strong> basin. ImD made data<br />
available for the period from 1971 to 2005. The stations used were Indore and Ujjain. There locations<br />
are shown in Figure 20. Thirty five years of data would generally be considered rather short for long term<br />
trend analysis, and it was possible to create composite records at both sites dating from 1901 using data<br />
archived by GHCN (GHCN precipitation 3 ).<br />
