A FOCUS ON M.K TESTS, THE EFFECTS OF FLUCTUATING RAINFALL ON DURG DISTRICT WATER RESOURCES.

Abstract

Severe flooding and extensive droughts might be on the horizon in India due to changes in monsoon precipitation brought about by regional climate oscillations. Animals, crops, people's well-being, and forests are all places that might feel the effects of changes to water resources. According to what is put out in the article. The M.K. test and trend of depletion were used to conduct the analysis. Notably, throughout the last fifteen years, surface water has been drained at the quickest pace of 1375 m3/ha, while groundwater in the Drug district has been reduced at the fastest rate of 3421 m3/ha. There is a very significant (á=1%) tendency towards decreasing water resources in the Drug district, according to the statistical analysis of the M.K. test. Water supplies are dwindling because to desertification, uncertain rainfall, and inconsistent rainfall patterns. Thus, in this age of climate change, it would have been prudent to discuss improving the consumptive use of water resources for both plants and people by conducting an inventory study and implementing suitable strategic plans.
