Ranade, Nityanand Singh, H.N. Singh and N.A. Sontakke Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune-8 ABSTRACT: In tropical monsoonal climate rainfall is a seasonal phenomena. Further, features of wet (or rainy) season such as starting date, ending date and duration show large spatial and temporal variations. Very little effort is devoted to understand the nature of variation of the wet season over and across the country. The present study attempts to document climatological and fluctuation characteristics of the wet season over different basins as well as the whole country using longest instrumental records. Longest possible instrumental area-averaged monthly, seasonal (winter JF, summer MAM, monsoon JJAS and post-monsoon OND) and annual rainfall series have been developed for each of the 11 major and 36 minor basins as well as the west coast drainage system of India using highly quality-controlled data from well spread network of 316 raingauges. For the period 1901-2005 with complete data of all stations the area-averaged series has been prepared from simple arithmetic mean of the gauges in the particular basin, and for period prior to 1901 (sometimes going back to 1813) with lesser observations the series is constructed by applying established objective method. (Wigley et.al., 1984). Fluctuation characteristics of the annual rainfall over different basins are briefly described. Average standard deviation of interannual variation of the starting date is 10 days, that of ending date 14 days and that of duration 19 days. In majority of cases probability distribution of the parameters of wet season is near-normal. Fluctuation of parameters is homogeneous and random over all the basins. 1. INTRODUCTION In recent years a new perspective has been added to hydrological investigations of India with the launch of the most ambitious Master Plan 'Interbasin Water Transfer – Interlinking of Rivers of India'. The plan is intended to utilize the country's water resources to the fullest extent practicable by transferring water from the surplus basin to deficit areas. One of the important issues to be addressed amicably in the planning process of the program is the impact of global changes, particularly global warming, on the rainfall fluctuation over different basins across the country. Basin-scale characteristics of rainfall and wet season are expected to provide vital information to this plan. Surrounded between the parallels of 8°4′28″ N and 37°17′53″ N, and between the meridians of 68°7′53″E and 97°24′47″E a beehive-shaped India occupies geographical area of 3,287,263 sq. km. (including territorial sea) on the southern plank of the Asian landmass. The contiguous land area of the country is 3,188,111 sq. km; its north-south length is about 3,214 km and east-west breadth about 2,933 km. The land frontier is 15,200 km and the coastline 7516.5 km. Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal and Lakshadweep in the Arabian Sea are parts of India. On the west of the country are Pakistan and Afghanistan, on the east Bangladesh and Burma, on the north Sinkiang province of China, Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan, and on the south Sri Lanka separated by a narrow channel of sea formed by the Palk Strait and the Gulf of Mannar. With three large watersheds, the Himalayas, the Vindhyas and the Western Ghats, the country is drained by 11 major and 43 minor rivers and numerous rivulets. Besides this in the West Coast Drainage system there are 25 small rivers that originate in the Sahayadri range (Western Ghats) and discharge into the Arabian Sea (NATMO, 1996; Rao, 1975). The climate of the country can be defined as tropical monsoonal characterized by large seasonal extremes in circulation regime from cool, dry, continental winter (frequently influenced by westerly waves and temperate fronts) during December through February to hot, moist, maritime summer (frequently influenced by easterly waves and tropical cyclones) during June through September caused by the south-north migration of the main monsoon convection zone from its winter position over Indonesian maritime continent to its summer position over head Bay of Bengal (extending over Indo-Gangetic plains towards northwest India-Pakistan-Afghanistan-Iran sector) that apparently follows the march of the sun through its Zenith in the torrid zone, between tropics of Cancer (23.5°N) and Capricorn (23.5°S). The two boreal monsoons are mirror image of each other. During winter sea level pressure is higher (1018 hPa) over northern India compared to peninsula and adjoining sea (1012 hPa). Temperature at all levels (surface to 300 hPa) over north is lower than that over peninsula. The prominent wind direction over north is westerly/northwesterly/northerly and over peninsula northeasterly. Opposite meteorological condition occurs during monsoon season. Sea level pressure is lowest (994 hPa) over northwest India and high over peninsula (1010 hPa). Temperature at all levels (surface to 300 hPa) is higher over north compared to peninsula. Westerly 1 and southwesterly are the prominent wind directions over peninsula and easterly over Ganga plains. During transition seasons of March-April-May and October-NovemberDecember meteorological conditions are somewhat complex. Extreme weather events are drought, flood, fog, smog, mist, frost, heat wave, cold wave, duststorm, thunderstorm, hailstorm, cyclonic storm, tornado, storm surges etc. Climate of the Indian subcontinent is dominated by the Indian Ocean southwest monsoon. Derived from the Arabic word ‘Mausim’ (or ‘season of winds’) the monsoon refers to system of winds that changes direction drastically from winter to summer season. During boreal summer outflows from the southern hemisphere Mascarene High pressure area into a bowl-shaped area of low pressure (monsoon trough) over IndoGangetic Plains are concentrated into a jet pattern, often called as a monsoon jet, monsoon surge, a low-level jet, or a cross-equatorial jet. Moisture laden onshore monsoon winds are about three miles thick. The rising air along the monsoon trough diverges out of an upper-tropospheric (Tibetan) anticyclone along an upper-level jet-like (easterly) flow. The monsoon trough is typically associated with low-level convergence, cyclonic vorticity and cloudiness. Though monsoon is basic factor rainfall at a particular location is a function of thickness of monsoon currents, convergence processes, regional geography and orography. Rainfall shows large temporal variation at the same location. To understand physical and dynamical causes of rainfall occurrences and their spatiotemporal variation is one of the main problems of the Indian meteorologists. High quality-controlled, spatially detailed, long period rainfall data is vital for monsoon studies. Annual rainfall is less than 100 mm over parts of Ladakh (Jammu & Kashmir State) and Jaisalmer district (Rajasthan State) and less than 400 mm over central peninsula but it is between 1000 mm and 3207.8 mm (Dharamsala [Upper] station, Kangra District), between 1000 mm and 1788.4 mm (Bhanupratappur station, Bastar District) over central highlands and eastern plateau, between 1000 mm and 11405.8 mm (Mawsynram station, East Khasi Hills District) over northeast, and between 1000 mm and 7445.7 mm (Amboli station, Ratnagiri District) over Sahayadri range. The mean annual rainfall of the whole country is 1165.9 mm of which 0.7% occurs during winter, 9.0% during summer, 77.4% during monsoon and 12.9% during post-monsoon. Maximum temperature exceeds 50°C in extreme northwest India, 47.5°C over Indo-Gangetic plains and central highlands, 40°C over northeast, 45-47.5°C along east coast and 37.5-40°C along west coast. Lowest recorded minimum temperature is less than -2.5°C over Thar Desert, Punjab and Haryana and it increases to 17.5°C in the east, southeast and southwards. Annual potential evapotranspiration varies from about 1000 mm in the extreme northeast and western Himalaya to more than 2000 mm in the extreme northwest. C. Warren Thornthwaite’s type climatic classification of the country can be done using mean annual rainfall alone as: less than 560mm arid, 560-1040mm semiarid, 1040-1420mm dry subhumid, 1420-1630mm moist subhumid, 1630-2450mm humid and greater than 2450mm perhumid (Singh, 1984 and Singh et al, 1991 a). Twelve percent area of the country is arid, 37% semiarid, 28% dry subhumid, 9% moist subhumid, 9% humid and 5% perhumid. In other words 77% area with annual rainfall less than 1420 mm is dry (evapotranspiration more than rainfall) and 33% with rainfall more than 1420 mm is wet (rainfall more than evapotranspiration). 2 Due to large variation in intensity and frequency of rain-inducing disturbances (western disturbances, thunderstorms, monsoon/cyclonic storms/depressions, monsoon troughs etc.) and summer monsoon and post monsoon circulations over different parts of the country rainfall occurrences exhibit large spatial variability. Hence areal representation of the area averaged rainfall series for the whole country is limited. Spatial variation in rainfall over India is quite large therefore temporal variation of area averaged rainfall for the whole country is drastically suppressed. (Singh et al, 1991 b). The value of the IAR (Index of areal representativeness), which is defined as the ratio of variance of all India series and mean variance different series averaged and expressed in percent, is only about 14% (Singh, 1994). The National Atlas & Thematic Mapping Organization (NATMO, 1996) has published a map of India 'Drainage' on 'Conical Equal Area Projection with two Standard Parallels' projection system and 1:6M scale showing boundary of major and other basins (Figure 1). For the present report classification of the country's river systems into major and minor basins by K. L. Rao (1975) is adopted. Longest possible monthly, seasonal and annual rainfall series could be developed for 11 major basins, 36 minor basins and the west coast drainage system as well as the whole country. Twenty seven of the 36 minor basins are the sub-basins of five major basins- the Indus 3 (Chenab, Beas and Satluj), the Ganga 13 (Yamuna, Ramganga, Gomati, Ghaghara, Gandak, Kosi, Mahananda, Chambal, Sind, Betwa, Ken, Tons and Son), the Brahmaputra 3 (Tista, Brahmaputra and Dhansiri), the Godavari 5 (Wainganga, Wardha, Penganga, Godavari and Indravati) and the Krishna 3 (Bhima, Krishna and Tungabhadra). The other nine minor basins are Luni, Surma, Kasai, Damodar, Suvarnarekha, Brahmani, Penner, Palar & Ponnaiyar and Vaigai. The Sabarmati, the Mahi, the Narmada, the Tapi, the Mahanadi and the Cauvery are the major basins without any distinct minor basin on the 1:6M scale map of India. In the present study Sikkim State (7,096 sq. km2), Arunachal Pradesh State (83,743 sq. km2), Andaman & Nicobar islands (8,249 sq. km2) and Lakshadweep islands (32 sq. km2) are not considered because of non-availability of long period rainfall data. Thus the geographical area of the country considered in the study is 3,188,111 sq. km2. In tropical monsoonal climate understanding basin-scale variability of wet (or rainy season) is as important as the variability of rainfall, very little attempt is made to study the former compared to later. Identification of wet season in the annual weather cycle is the crucial issue of the problem. Earlier attempts have been made to depict the climatological summer monsoon (or rainy) season across the Asian monsoon region (Tao and Chen, 1987; Tanaka, 1992; Lau and Yang, 1997; Wang, 1994; Wang and LinHo, 2002 and many others). Ananthakrishnan and Soman (1988) however identified yearwise (1980) onset date of southwest monsoon over Kerala (India) by applying an objective criterion to raingauge observations and studied variation and distribution characteristics of the onset date. It is not known whether the criterion can be applied in reverse order to obtain the withdrawal date. Further, this information is limited to Kerala. Singh (1986) has applied an objective criterion ‘continuous period with each of the monthly rainfall greater than 50mm’ to obtain start and cessation dates of normal rainy (or wet) season at stations across India. The main objective of the present study is to apply this criterion to area-averaged monthly rainfall data on interannual basis to document climatology and fluctuation characteristics of the parameters of wet season (starting date, ending date and duration) across different river basins of India using longest available instrumental observations. 3 2. RAINFALL DATA USED Instrumental monthly rainfall records from a well spread network of 316 raingauges (Figure 1) from earliest available year up to 2005 is used in preparing this report. For all the 316 stations data is available for the period 1901-2005. Prior to 1901 number of available stations from this network decreases back in time- for 314 raingauges the data extend back to 1900, for 312 back to 1871, for 196 back to 1870, for 101 back to 1861, for 80 back to 1860, for 70 back to 1851, for 60 back to 1846, for 57 back to 1844, for 13 back to 1842, for 6 back to 1829, for 4 (Chennai, Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur) back to 1826, for 2 (Chennai and Mumbai) back to 1817 and for sole station Chennai back to 1813. Missing observation in the continuous data sequence has been filled by the ratio method (Rainbird, 1967) using nearest available observation as reference value. Number of filled values is less than 2% of the total number of monthly rainfall records. Data up to 1900 is obtained from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) publication ‘Monthly and Annual Rainfall of 457 Stations in India to the End of 1900’ (Eliot, 1902), and for the 1901-2005 period from the National Data Center and Hydrology Section of the IMD, Pune. An account of this dataset is described by Mooley and Parthasarathy (1984). Blanford (1886) checked the reliability of data then available and concluded that selected data were ‘free from any serious error’. In his attempt to compile and publish rainfall data for all the gauges over British India up to 1900 AD, Eliot (1902) also checked them thoroughly. Regarding reliability of rainfall data of the Indian region, Walker (1910) had stated that ‘long established observatories like Madras (Chennai), Bombay (Mumbai) and Calcutta (Kolkata) which have rainfall records available for earlier periods in the nineteenth century are trustworthy’. 3. THE METHODS- DEVELOPMENT OF LONGEST RAINFALL SEQUENCE The instrumental period area-averaged rainfall series is prepared in two parts, (i) simple arithmetic mean for the period with all available observations from the selected network and (ii) construction by applying established objective method for the period with lesser available observations. The complete process is described step by step for the Indus basin. Rainfall observation in the Indus basin started in 1844. In 1845 number of gauges increased to 2 which continued up to 1951, increased to 3 in 1952, increased to 5 during 1853-54, decreased to 4 during 1855-56, increased to 6 in 1857, to 7 during 1858-59, to 8 during 1860-1861, to 9 during 1862-68, to 10 during 1860-70, to 16 during 1871-1900 and to 19 during 1901 and remained so since then. For creation of longest area-averaged annual rainfall series for the basin the computational steps are as (Singh, 1994; Sontakke and Singh, 1996; Wigley et al., 1984), follows, 1. Prepare the representative area-averaged annual rainfall series for the period 1901-2005 from simple arithmetic mean of observations from all the 19 raingauges in the basin; (As indicated annual rainfall data of only 16 raingauges from the 19-gauge network extends back to 1900, and the representative mean.) 4 2. Prepare the mean annual rainfall series of the 16 raingauges for the period 1901-2005; 3. Estimate the linear regression (Y = a + bX) of 19-gauge mean series {Yi} on the 16-gauge mean series {Xi} based on data of the period 1901-2000; (All constructions in this report have been done with respect to the 'reference period’ 1901-2000.) Theoretically derived mathematical expression for the correlation (Rm,M) between M-gauge mean rainfall series and m-gauge mean series (m is a subset of M) is given by (Wigley et al., 1984): R m, M = m 1 s i ri , M ∑ m s(m) i =1 In the present example M is 19 and m is 16; s(m) is the standard deviation of the 16-gauge (here m = 16) mean series; si is the standard deviation of each of the 16 series; ri,M the correlation coefficient between each of the 16 gauge series and the M-gauge mean series. The correlation coefficient directly calculated between 19-gauge mean series (Yi ) and the 16-gauge mean series (Xi) was equal to the Rm,M. 4. Substitute the mean rainfall of 16 gauges available during 1900 in the regression and estimate the representative mean annual rainfall for the basin for the year 1900; 5. Inflate the variance of the estimated rainfall amount of the year 1900 by dividing its departure from long term mean by correlation coefficient (r) between 19-gauge mean series (1901-2000) and the corresponding 16-gauge mean series (Klein et al, 1959), and get the constructed mean annual rainfall of the Indus basin for the year 1900; 6. Repeat the above process to estimate the rainfall of each of the four seasons (winter JF, summer MAM, monsoon JJAS and post-monsoon OND) for the year 1900; 7. Check if total of the estimated four seasonal rainfalls is equal to the estimated annual rainfall amount; 8. For any variation between the two figures proportionately increase/decrease the seasonal rainfall amounts to get their finally constructed amounts; and 9. Estimate the monthly rainfalls in a similar, compare them with corresponding constructed seasonal rainfall amount, and get the constructed monthly rainfalls after suitable correction for the year 1900. 10. Take up the year 1899 and repeat the above process sequentially. 11. Then take the year 1898, 1897 and so on till 1844. 5 Theoretical details of the construction method are given in Wigley et al. (1984). For pre-1901 period, the construction is retained if CC between all the gauges mean series and limited available gauges mean series based on the period 1901-2000 is significant at 5% level and above otherwise rejected. In the absence of anything this instrumental data might provide vital information. The rainfall series for the basin could be developed for the period 1844-2005. Similarly longest rainfall series have been constructed for the other basins. 4. DEFINITION OF THE WET SEASON Annual weather cycle at stations across India can be divided into two periods, dry and wet. The wet period is also referred to as wet season or rainy season. Since the terminology ‘rainy season’ is generally used for summer monsoon season we will use the term ‘hydrological wet season’ that is continuous wet period irrespective of the system(s) that bring the rainfall. Besides summer monsoon season, rainfall over northwestern India occurs due to western disturbances, over northeastern India due to thunderstorms during Mar-May, over extreme southwest due to thunderstorms in MarchMay and due to northeast monsoon during October-December, and over southeast mostly due to northeast monsoon. While some parts of the country experience good rainfall activities before and after the summer monsoon period, others experience rainfall during peak period of the summer monsoon season, July-August. There are large variations in the wet season (starting date, ending date and duration) across the country, and over the same place from one year to another. In an earlier study the normal duration of wet season at a station is identified as the continuous period with monthly rainfall greater than 50mm (Singh, 1986). Over extreme southwest and the northeastern India the wet season starts around 28th March and northwestern India around 28th July. Over most parts of the country the starting date progressively shifts between these two extremes. The wet season over the extreme southwest and northeast India starts much before the onset of the southwest monsoon due to heavy and reliable rainfall activities associated with thunderstorms. The late start over northwestern part is because of lesser rainfall activities of the onset phase of the southwest monsoon over the region. Due to rain-shadow effect for the southwest monsoon, the extreme southeast peninsula gets reliable rainfall only during post-monsoon (or northeast monsoon) season and the date varies between 15th August and 10th October, from north to south. Being the area outside the monsoon regime, Jammu and Kashmir gets rainfall from extra tropical systems like western disturbances and trough in the westerlies. The season over the region starts between 20th December and the 1st week of January. The cessation date is especially more consistant, organized and progressively shifting from northwest to southeast. The extreme dates are 10th August for northwestern India and 10th January for southeastern peninsula. For Jammu and Kashmir, the cessation date is 10th May. Consequently there is large variation in the duration of the wet season over different parts of the country, about 20 days over northwestern India to exceeding 240 days over southwestern peninsula. In the present study the criterion ‘continuous period with each of the monthly rainfall greater than 50 mm’ is applied to monthly rainfall data of 11 major river basins, 6 36 minor basins, west coast drainage system and the whole country on interannual basis. In the first month of the continuous period the starting date of the actual wet season is determined by linear interpolation up to which, from the beginning of the month, 50 mm rainfall is expected. And the ending date is determined in the last month of the period so that between the linearly-interpolated date and the end of the month 50 mm rainfall is expected to occur. Experiences suggest that occurrence probability of zero elements in the monthly rainfall sequence whose mean is greater than 50 mm is almost nil. So in the wet season one can expect some rainfall during every month. This report provides documentation of statistics, distribution and fluctuation of starting date, ending date and duration of the wet season over each of the river basins. Limitation of application of the criterion should be borne in mind. The criterion cannot be applied to interannual data of individual stations, particularly in arid and semiarid regions in which in large number of years monthly rainfall may not exceed the threshold of 50 mm. The criterion is however found applicable for area-averaged monthly rainfall data of different spatial units’ viz. states, meteorological subdivisions, physiographic regions and hydrologic river basins. 5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS 5.1 FEATURES OF LONGEST ANNUAL RAINFALL SEQUENCE AND WET SEASON OF DIFERENT BASINS AND THE WHOLE INDIA The basins are arranged from north to northwest to northeast to south. The description of the Indus, the Ganga, the Brahmaputra, the Godavari and the Krishna is given first in order along with their minor basins. The remaining major basins are given afterwards followed by independent minor basins. The West Coast Drainage System is given thereafter. In the end description about the whole country longest rainfall series is given as general information. The annual potential evapotranspiration (PE) reported here is obtained from simple arithmetic mean of the stations in the particular basin. The normal monthly and annual PE at stations across India is given in Rao et al (1971). Number of rainy days (rainfall equal to or greater than 2.5mm) is extracted from IMD publication ‘Monthly and Annual Normals of Rainfall and of Rainy Days’ (IMD, 1961). The Indus Major Basin (drainage area: 291,749 km2; annual potential evapotranspiration (PE): 1390.4 mm; mean annual rainfall: 860.3 mm- winter 10.5%, summer 11.5%, monsoon 72.1% and post-monsoon 5.9% and annual rainy days: 41.6)The Indus rises in the Tibet near the Mansarovar Lake at an elevation of 5,180 m, passes through northern Kashmir and Gilgit, enters Pakistan and emerges out of the hills near Attock. The major tributaries are the Kabul, the Swat and the Kurram from the west and the Jhelum, the Chenab, the Ravi, the Beas and the Satluz from the east. Earliest rainfall record for Sirsa and Ferozepur is available from 1844. Data for all the 19 raingauge stations of the selected network is available from 1901 onwards. Monthly, seasonal and annual rainfall series for the period 1901-2005 have been prepared from simple arithmetic mean of rainfall of the 19 stations, and for the period 1844-1900 the different series have been constructed by applying the objective technique on lesser available 7 observations discussed in the previous section. Hence the rainfall sequence for the Indus River System is developed for the period 1844-2005. The major epochs in annual rainfall fluctuation are: 1844-1894 wet, 1895-1953 dry and 1954-2003 wet. Yearly value of the wet season parameters for the period 1844-2005 is given in Table 1(a) and their time series plots are shown in Figure 2(a). The mean (±1 days) of the parameters are: starting date- 25 June (±12), ending date- 9 Sept (±13) and the duration- 77 days (± 17). According to g-statistic test (Rao, 1967) the distribution of starting date and duration is normal while ending date suffers from mild kurtosis. The fluctuation of different parameters is homogeneous and random as suggested by SwedEisenhart’s run test for homogeneity and Mann-Kendall rank test for randomness against trend.(WMO, 1966). In fact fluctuation of different parameters over all the basins under investigation is homogeneous and random. This may be noted and will not be repeated for individual cases any more. During a normal wet season rainfall (P) is 505.6 mm and potential evapotranspiration (PE) 403.8 mm which shows excess rainfall of 101.8 mm available for soil moisture utilization, ground water recharge and runoff. In 162 years (1844-2005) period there were 62 years (given in Table 11) with two wet seasons, one due to summer monsoon rains and another due to winter rains associated with western disturbances. The mean (± 1 days) of the parameters of the second wet season are: starting date- 3 Feb (± 18), ending date- 1 Mar (±25) and the duration- 27 days (± 23). Jhelam Minor Basin – It starts as a spring from a mountain spur at Verinag. The river flows through the Kashmir Valley for a length of 400 km and crosses the Pirpanjal range through a deep gorge. The tributaries are the Liddar, the Sind and the Pohru Rivers, which rise in Kashmir and join the main river. The Jhelam River joins the Chenab at Trimmu. The catchment area up to the Indo-Pakistan border is 34,775 sq. km. There is no station in the catchment with long period data. Chenab Minor Basin (drainage area: 54,501 km2; annual PE: 874.0 mm; mean annual rainfall: 1084.4 mm- winter 15.7%, summer 19.8%, monsoon 56.3% and postmonsoon 8.2%; and annual rainy days: 57.9)- It is formed by the Chandra and the Bhaga which rise in Lahul. It flows through Himachal Pradesh and Kashmir and after 330 km down stream the river enters Pakistan at Akhnur. Its catchment area up to Indo-Pakistan border is 54,501 sq.km. Rainfall data for Srinagar is available from 1891 and Jammu and Udhampur stations were included in 1901. The rainfall series for the basin could be developed for the period 1891-2005. The major epochs in annual rainfall fluctuation are: 1893-1941 dry, 1942-1961 wet, 1962-1974 dry and 1975-2003 wet. Yearly value of the wet season parameters for the period 1891-2005 is given in Table 1(b) and their time series plots are shown in Figure 2(b). The mean (±1 days) of the parameters are: starting date-29-May (±65), ending date- 11 Sept (±25) and the duration- 106 days (± 70). The distribution of the wet season parameters is significantly different from normal. During a normal wet season rainfall (P) is 593.4 mm and potential evapotranspiration (PE) 433.5 mm which shows excess rainfall of 159.9 mm available in the basin. 8 In 115 years (1891-2005) there were 75 years with two wet seasons and in that 7 years with 3 wet seasons (Table 11). The mean (±1 days) of the parameters of the second wet season are: starting date-29 Jan (±31), ending date- 26 Mar (±29) and the duration- 54 days (± 34), and that of third wet season are: starting date-25 Dec (±15), ending date- 18 Jan (±7) and the duration- 24 days (± 11). Ravi Minor Basin – It rises in Kulu, flows westward through the Pirpanjal and Dhaola Dhar ranges and then enters Punjab plains near Madhopur and later enters Pakistan 26 km below Amritsar. The catchment area is 14,442 sq. km. There is no station in the catchment with long period data. Beas Minor Basin (drainage area: 18,866 km2; annual PE: 1445.9 mm; mean annual rainfall: 1379.4 mm- winter 10.5%, summer 11.7%, monsoon 72.3% and postmonsoon 5.5%; and annual rainy days: 61.4)- It rises near the Rohtang Pass in Kulu at a height of 3,960 m and flows through a gorge from Larji to Talwara and then enters the Punjab plains to meet the Sutlej at Harike. Its total length is 460 km and the catchmenrt area is 18,866 sq. km. Rainfall data from Dharamsala is available from 1853, Gurudaspur was included in 1857, Amritsar in 1860 and Kulu in 1868. The Longest rainfall sequence for the basin could be developed for the period 1853-2005. The major epochs in annual rainfall fluctuation are: 1857-1900 wet, 1901-1921 dry, 1922-1978 wet and 1979-2003 dry. Yearly value of the wet season parameters for the period 1853-2005 is given in Table 1I and their time series plots are shown in Figure 2I.

In general, the starting date is highly correlated with the duration which is highly correlated with ending date and the rainfall amount. But the starting date is weakly correlated with the ending date. Early start of wet season provides an indication that the season will be of longer duration and there will be good rainfall activities. It may be noted that results of application of this statistical relationship can be realized after trial of large number of years rather than on year to year basis. Generally, the correlation between the ending date and the duration is the highest and that between starting date and ending date lowest. 5.3 CORRELATION BETWEEN WET SEASON PARAMETERS OVER THE WHOLE COUNTRY AND RESPECTIVE PARMETERS OF THE INDIVIDUAL BASINS In general seasonal rainfall over the whole country is highly correlated with the rainfall of individual basins (Table 13). Starting date, ending date and duration of the wet season over the country is significantly correlated with the respective parameter over Godavari major basin (and its minor basins), Krishna major basin (and its minor basins), Narmada, Tapi and Mahanadi major basins and Kasai, Suvarnarekha and Brahmani minor basins. The parameters of the wet season over Ganga Major and Indus Major Basin have shown significant correlation with the respective parameters of the whole country but the minor basins of these major basins did not show spatially coherent significant correlation with the whole country. 6. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION The present report documents the data, display and description of statistical and fluctuation characteristics of the parameters of the wet season over different basins of India. The chief characteristics features are: 1. Excluding south peninsula, northeast and extreme northern India, over remaining parts of the country starting and ending dates of the wet season are in close agreement with onset and withdrawal dates, respectively, of the summer monsoon (IMD, 1943). 2. Average standard deviation of the starting date of the wet season across the country is ±10 days that of ending date ±14 days and that of duration ±19 days. 3. For majority of river basins probability distribution of starting date, ending date and duration of the wet season is near-normal. However, it would be 31 interesting to know the unified probability distribution function which is the best fit for these parameters across the country which can be taken up as separate study. 4. There is no significant long term trend in the parameters of the wet season for any of the basins. But each one of them displayed domination of inter-decadal fluctuation characterized by short term rising and declining trends. 5. The starting date is highly correlated with the duration and the rainfall amount for different basins and the whole country. Generally, the correlation between the starting date and the duration is the highest. But the starting date and the ending date is weakly correlated. 6. On an average the wet season contributes about 78% rainfall to the annual total. Spatially it varies from 55% in the Chenab Basin to 94% in the Tista Basin. 7. Over large number of basins there were two wet seasons in considerable number of years, some times there were three wet seasons and in 1954 over Vaigai there were four wet seasons. Details of multiple wet seasons require a separate study. 8. For the country as a single unit 63.8% of the wet season rainfall evaporates and 36.2% becomes available for soil moisture storage, ground water recharge and runoff. Fluctuation characteristics of the wet season and rainfall over different basins based on longest available instrumental observations documented in this report are expected to provide vital information to water resource managers including those working for ‘interlinking of rivers’ program of the country. Further research in this area could be to refine this start and cessation dates of the wet season using shorter period rainfall data such as daily, pentad or weekly. Of course the shorter period rainfall data is available only from 1901 onwards.
