Abstract
AbstractUnderstanding the variability of rainfall with El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events at the watershed level is important for water resource managers to discern the pattern of water available for agricultural planning and water and soil conservation. This study was conducted to determine the responses of rainfall and vegetation to El Nino and La Nina events occurring between 2001 and 2011 in the Upper Wardha watershed in Maharashtra, India. Daily rainfall data pertaining to 14 stations in and around the study area were analyzed in conjunction with 16-day global 250-m Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor abroad the Terra (EOS AM) and Aqua (EOS PM) satellites. Results indicate correlations between ENSO events, rainfall, and vegetation. Both rainfall and vegetation show a positive anomaly during La Nina events and a negative anomaly during El Nino events, but the effects of all events are not the same. A low volum...
