Current method is based on pre-1960s rainfall data, says expert; report also calls for changes in agro plans owing to shift in rainfall and temperature variation

A recent analysis of the last 58 years’ (1960 to 2017) weather data of Karnataka has indicated a considerable shift in rainfall pattern in the State, which has a bearing on agriculture and water security.

It calls for changes in the present cropping pattern and agro plans in the light of the observed shift in rainfall and temperature variation that can lead to frequent recurrence of extreme weather conditions.

The study titled ‘Climate Change Scenario in Karnataka: A Detailed Parametric Assessment’ was conducted by Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) and its findings have long-term implications for both food and water security.

The core team which conducted the study was led by G.S. Srinivasa Reddy, former Director, KSNDMC, and the scientists involved in the project analysed the variations in the amount of rainfall, rainy days, frequency of rainfall events, dry spells, fluctuations in temperature, number of years when the rainfall was below normal etc.
