Abstract
Trend of reference evapotranspiration under climate change in Himalayan region, India
Highlights
In the present study two Himalayan regions (Kashmir and Ranichauri) were considered
The Srinagar cityis located at an attitude of 1585 m, 34.500N latitude and 74.40 0E
Longitudes and Ranichauri is located at 30.30N latitude and 78.40E longitudes
Summary
Trend of reference evapotranspiration under climate change in Himalayan region, India. Climate change is occurring globally (IPCC, 2007) and is alleged to cause changes in climatic variables, such as relative humidity, precipitation, air temperature, and solar radiation and in the hydrological cycle by affecting precipitation and evaporation (Yu et al, 2013). These changes affect crop evapo-transpiration and have major implications for irrigation management and crop production (Zhang et al, 2011; Li et al, 2016). Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and soil moisture deficit are vital for understanding the hydrological processes, in the context of sustainable water use efficiency in the globe (Srivastava et al, 2017). It is a nonparametric test and does not require the data to be normally distributed and has low sensitivity to abrupt breaks due to inhomogeneous time series (Kendall, 1975)
