• Opis:
  The current study focuses on the altering historical rainfall data analysis and its variability in Kolkata (Kolkata Municipal Corporation), a metropolitan city in India. The research area experiences detrimental urban floods (pluvial floods) at near-annual regularity during the monsoon, and during the pre-monsoon seasons it commonly experiences water shortage problems. Analysing trends and temporal variability of rainfall over 120 years from 1901 to 2020 is the main objective of this study. The original Mann–Kendall (M–K) test has been applied to the rainfall dataset in conjunction with Sen’s Slope Estimator using Python 3.10, after the Durbin-Watson (DW) statistic initially suggested that there is no serial correlation effect. The M–K test, with a Kendall’s tau of 0.17058 (significant at a 5% level), shows an upward trend in annual rainfall between 1901 and 2020. The Sen’s slope, which measures the rate of change annually, has a value of 2.48152. Regression analysis and other dispersion measures are also used in this study to investigate the monthly rainfall trend and its variability. The phase-wise (30-year) analysis of annual rainfall variability reveals a considerable variation over 120 years. While fitting the linear regression line month by month over the entire period, mostly negative trends were found in the pre-monsoon and positive trends in the monsoon and post-monsoon seasons. The findings of this analysis could be useful to urban planners for water supply and management in the study area. The primary concern of planners for effectively managing rainwater and the accompanying issues should be the growing variability of annual precipitation.;
