Climate Change Impact and Trends Analysis of Streamflow at Different Gauging Stations in Upper Jhelum River Basin, Jammu and Kashmir | Chapter 1 | Emerging Issues in Environment, Geography and Earth Science Vol. 5

 This phase discusses about the flows analysis of streamflow at different measure stations in upper jhelum waterway basin. Water resources of the sphere Earth engage in the infinitely recurrent hydrological phase, the largest change of matter in the Earth's system. Because water is the basic factor of the life support system of the world, it is of utmost significance to understand the impacts of the ongoing and bulged climate change on water possessions and water availability. In addition to the study of water source management, stream flow style analysis is important for flood predicting and hydrologic drought appraisal related investigations. The enduring changes in stream flow at various measure stations in the Upper Jhelum River Valley (UJRB) of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir (J & K) were supposed in this study. Trend reasoning was performed utilizing the Modified Mann-Kendall Test (MMKT). Sen’s Slope Estimator (SSE) was used for the calculation of trend. Complete time series dossier of annual maximum and monthly maximum stream flows at ten measure stations of UJRB were used for trend reasoning. The annual timeseries of streamflow did dismay any significant growing or decreasing currents at any gauging station. Nevertheless, all the significant styles obtained at some measure stations during various seasons were found to be curtailing in nature. Six judge stations exhibited decreasing streamflow currents during the period of July. Nonetheless, such inquiry of water flow in the river would further assist in regional hydrologic studies besides occurrence of flood and hydrologic drynesses.
