The trend analysis was done by using Mann-Kendall test. The results indicated increasing trends in annual rainfall. The mean Precipitation Concentration Index of Valaiyar sub basin and Palar sub basin indicates strongly irregular monthly distribution of annual rainfall. The mean Precipitation Concentration Index of Aliyar sub basin and Sholaiyar sub basin indicates irrugular monthly distribution of annual rainfall. The temporal pattern of rainfall trends analyzed in this study is a basic and important requirement for agricultural planning and management of water resources.

The laboratory tests of the collected water samples were carried out for the analysis of various parameters such as temperature, pH, Electrical conductivity, Suspended Solids, Dissolved Solids, Total Solids, Total Alkalinity, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Fluoride, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulphate, Phosphate, Chloride, Nitrate, Iron and Carbonates. The methods employed for analysis as per standard methods recommended by APHA, WHO. The results obtained were compared with BIS standards and the parameters showing slight variations than standards that affects the water quality. These variations may be influenced by sample locations, time of sampling and activities carried out around the dam. Hence, it is recommended that the water can be used for drinking purposes with proper treatment and regular water quality monitoring.

Muthuchamy2 1,2*Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Department of Soil and Water Conservation Engineering, Agricultural Engineering College and Research Institute, Coimbatore – 641 003, Tamil Nadu, India. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Paper No. 289 Received: 18 November 2014 Accepted: 10 February 2014 Published: 24 April 2015 ABSTRACT Identification of temporal variation of rainfall trends provides useful information for sustainable planning and management of water resources in a river basin particularly during flood and drought periods. The present study was conducted to determine trends in the annual and seasonal total rainfall over Parambikulam Aliyar sub basin of Tamil Nadu using 30 years (1982-2012) monthly rainfall data at eight rain-gauge stations. The procedure is based on the nonparametric Mann-Kendall test for the trend and the nonparametric Sen’s method for the magnitude of the trend. The maximum increase in rainfall was found at Chinnakallar with an annual rainfall of 90.51 mm/year and the maximum reduction in rainfall of -8.60 mm/year was found at Topslip during South West monsoon. Significant positive trend were observed at Weaverly station during North East monsoon rainfall series and significant negative trend has been noticed in the South West monsoon of Topslip. Highlights • Positive trends were observed in most of the rain-gauge stations for all rainfall series except South West monsoon season.
