This creates difficulty in developing local level recommendations. If the rainfall variability is known, it helps to identify agroecosystem-specific climate change adaptation strategies. Keeping this in view, an effort has been made to analyze the variability of rain fall in Wargal sub watershed in Siddipet district having 482 ha area near Hyderabad in Telangana state of India. | 2020 9 10 1073-1078 International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN 2319-7706 Volume 9 Number 10 2020 Journal homepage http Original Research Article https Spatial and Temporal Rainfall Variability of Sub Watershed in Deccan Plateau India M.

Therefore this study examines the variability of rain fall in Wargal sub watershed in Siddipet district Telangana state of India. To study the Keywords rainfall variability within the study area of 15 sq km 15 rain gauges were installed Rainfall Rainfall at different locations and data was collected during July and August months 2009. intensity Rain The rainfall variability map was generated by using GIS software. The weather gauge Rainfall data was collected by installing the related instruments at Nagarjuna Innovation variability Sub Centre Wargal during Sep 2008. It was observed that relatively higher rainfall watershed 310 to 340 mm was received in areas around lower reach Kothakunta and Article Info Bitcherla kunta tanks and relatively lower rainfall 250 280 mm was received in areas around upper reach Melakunta and Kadelakunta tanks .The areas around Accepted 10 September 2020 middle of watershed .
