Spatio-temporal rainfall trends in the Ganga River basin over the last century: understanding feedback and hydrological impacts

The Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) characterizes the hydrometeorological variability across the north Indian region and contributes more than 75% of the annual rainfall during the monsoon (June-September) season. In the present study, we analysed the long-term monsoon rainfall for the Ganga River basin...

Description
Summary:The Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) characterizes the hydrometeorological variability across the north Indian region and contributes more than 75% of the annual rainfall during the monsoon (June-September) season. In the present study, we analysed the long-term monsoon rainfall for the Ganga River basin to investigate its spatio-temporal variability. A statistically increasing (10 to 17 mm/year; p
