The crisis management plan outlined in this document is part of overall spectrum of drought management plan but is restricted to the management interventions required during the time of Crisis. It does not replace the emergency procedures or contingency action plans already drawn by different agencies, but has been developed …
A comparison between TRMM PR rainfall estimates and rain gauge data from ANEEL and combined gauge/satellite data from GPCP over South America (SA) is made. In general, the annual and seasonal regional characteristics of rainfall over SA are qualitatively well reproduced by TRMM PR and GPCP. It is found that …

Central, northern India have a new date with the rains april, May and early June may be the future monsoon months of north and central India. As of now, the official date for the beginning of monsoons is June 29. But there has been a clear increase in rainfall in …
Southwest monsoon (SWM) controls the majority of the agricultural activities in Tamil Nadu (TN), though the amount of rainfall received due to this is relatively less. The nature and behaviour of water vapour over TN reveal the other dynamic processes that are in operation during this period of the year.
The article on water harvesting and artificial recharge in naturally water-scarce regions (30 August 2008) makes a number of assertions about small water harvesting systems that are based on faulty assumptions and inadequate information.
Warming of the seas is rerouting monsoon THE monsoon winds are avoiding India for one-third of the months of July and August and taking a route south of its peninsula. This is because the winds have found a highly attractive low pressure region in the eastern part of the Indian …
We present a local, self-sustaining, natural and economic way to secure a quality drinking water resource for a town or city. Most local rainfed aquifers in the environs of cities suffer from long-term contamination by chemical waste
Reliable medium range prediction of monsoon weather is crucial for disaster preparedness. Weather in tropics, controlled by fast growing convective instabilities is, however, intrinsically less predictable than that in extra?tropics. Increased frequency and intensity of extreme rain events in the tropics in the backdrop of global warming has a potential …
The impact of climate change on the lives and livelihoods of people in India is now widely recognised. Yet, there is neither a consensus on the definition of vulnerability to climate change nor a full, regionally-nuanced mapping of the variable impact of such a change. It is only when a …
Fundamental to the onset of the Indian Summer Monsoon is the land-sea thermal gradient from the Indian Ocean to the Himalayas-Tibetan Plateau (HTP). The timing of the onset is strongly controlled by the meridional tropospheric temperature gradient due to the rapid pre-monsoon heating of the HTP compared to the relatively …
Major climatic changes due to global warming would lead to disturbed rainfall patterns in the country, an eminent environmentalist said on Sunday. "The rise in global warming will lead to major changes in rainfall patterns. In essence rainfall will decrease and become more erratic, said RK Pachauri, chairman of the …
The question of how to assess trends in rainfall data is very relevant to that of climate change. A short review of prior work revealed that there was little consensus on the methodology to be adopted. Many methods had been tried and abandoned. Some methods had found comparatively wide acceptance …
Climate change is a global issue which is of concern to the entire international community. In view of the rapid increases in urbanization that have occurred in countries of Asia, including Thailand, over the past several decades, the impacts of climate change are starting to occur and are expected to …
