  • Rainfall Trends in Different Climate Zones of Pakistan Salma, S.1, S
    Pakistan Journal of Meteorology Vol. 9, Issue 17: Jul 2012 Rainfall Trends in Different Climate Zones of Pakistan Salma, S.1, S. Rehman1, M. A. Shah2 Abstract In this paper, the study was conducted across the country to assess the rainfall trend in different climate zones of Pakistan over the past three decades. For this purpose dataset comprising 30 years for the period 1976 to 2005 were acquired from 30 meteorological observatories from different parts of the country. The whole data was analyzed through Analysis Of Variations (ANOVA) along Dunnett T3 test. The result has shown a decreasing trend (-1.18mm/decade) all over the country, which may be attributed to the presence of drought period during 1998- 2001. Stations located in different zones of the country mainly from North, North West, West and Coastal areas respectively show overall significant decreasing trend whereas plain areas and South West of the country have been observed with no significant trend. Adverse consequences of the rainfall have already been observed in Pakistan in the form of droughts and super floods which have badly affected human settlements, water management and agriculture sectors. Keywords: Rainfall trend, Climate zones, ANOVA test along Dunnett T3 test. Introduction The issue of climate change has emerged very strongly during the last two decades on global scale in view of its projected implications on the environment of vulnerable states. Steadily rising temperature and its impacts on the cryosphere and rainfall are evident in many regions around the world. There are indications that Pakistan has had its share of the large climatic variations that are known to have taken place in northwest India in the past.

    ISSN:2372‐0743 print Vol. 06 ISSN:2373‐2989 on line International Journal of Ground Sediment & Water 2017 ◆Research Paper Distribution Pattern Assessment of Physicochemical Components of Keenjhar Lake Water, Sindh, Pakistan Adnan Khan*, Asal Eghbal Bkhatiari, Sumaira Asif Khan, Muhammad Arsalan Department of Geology, University of Karachi, Karachi, Pakistan. * Corresponding author E‐mail: [email protected] Abstract: Keenjhar Lake is one of the largest fresh water lakes in Pakistan which is present in Thatta district, Sindh. It is the main source of drinking water supply for Karachi city. The present study was carried out to assess the depth controlled variation pattern of physicochemical components of Keenjhar lake water. For this purpose, water samples were collected at three depth interval (1. Surface 2.Depth of 30 m 3.Near bottom). Studied parameters include physical character (color, odor, taste, temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, hardness, oxidation reduction potential) major chemistry (Na, K, Ca, Mg, HCO3, SO4, Cl, NO3) and minor/trace elements (Fe, Cr, Co, Mn, Cu, Ni and Zn). Data reveal that there is no significant variation in the physical parameters and chemical components with depth change. All parameters in lake water are in compliance with the guideline values of WHO set for drinking water. The lake water is suitable for the survival and sustenance of aquatic life. Keywords: Keenjhar Lake, physicochemical parameters, depth variation, distribution pattern. Introduction Lakes are large bodies of inland water which serve as source for drinking, irrigation as well as industrial purpose. The quality and quantity of lake water depend upon the climate, catchments, geography of the area and the inputs and outputs both natural and manmade.

  • A Classification of Rainfall Regions in Pakistan* Mian Sabir Hussain**·Seungho Lee***
    44-5대지.1사비르c-4 2009.12.31 9:28 AM 페이지605 600DPI 100LPI Journal of the Korean Geographical Society, Vol. 44, No. 5, 2009(605~623) A Classification of Rainfall Regions in Pakistan* Mian Sabir Hussain**·Seungho Lee*** 파키스탄의 강수지역 구분 미안 사비르 후세인**·이승호*** Abstract：This study is aimed to classify rainfall regions in Pakistan. Classification of rainfall regions is essential to understand rainfall patterns in Pakistan. Rainfall patterns have been investigated using a factor and cluster analysis technique by 10-days rainfall parameter. The data used here have been obtained from 32 specific weather stations of PMD (Pakistan Meteorological Department) for the period of January 1980 to December 2006. The results obtained from factor analysis provide three factors and these three factors accounts for 94.60% of the total variance. For a better understanding of rainfall regions, cluster analysis method has been applied. The clustering procedure is based on the Wards method algorithm. Overall, these rainfall regions have been divided into six groups. The boundary of the region is determined by the topology such as Baluchistan plateau, Indus plain, Hindu Kush and Himalaya ranges. Key Words : factor analysis, cluster analysis, 10-day rainfall, rainfall patterns, rainfall regions 요약：본 연구의 목적은 파키스탄의 강수지역을 구분하는 것이다. 파키스탄 강수 특성의 이해를 증진시키기 위해 강수 지역을 구분 하였다. 강수 형태는 순별 강수량 자료를 이용하여 인자분석과 군집분석 기법으로 분석하였다. 연구에 사용된 자료는 파키스탄 기상 청에서 제공하는 32개기상관측소의자료로연구기간은1980년에서 2006년까지이다. 인자분석의 결과 추출된 3개의 인자는 전체 변동의 94.60%를 설명한다. 강수 지역은 강수 특성의 공간적 분포를 이해하기 위해 군집분석을 하였다. 군집분석은 Ward법을 이용 하여 분석하였다.
