CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT ON CHITRAL BASIN TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TRENDS

Abstract

Climate change emerging from anthropogenic driven outflows of ozone depleting substances has developed as
one of the most significant ecological issues over the most recent two decades. One of the most critical potential
outcomes of climate change might be modification in local hydrological cycle and stream systems. Long term
Precipitation and temperature varieties are one of the fundamental determinants of climate changeability of one's zone.
The point of this investigation is to decide patterns variety in climatic components of temperature and precipitation. In
this study, main objective was to observed trends of Precipitation and temperature. The long-term pattern of
precipitation furthermore, temperature was assessed by straight relapse and Mann–Kendall test. The magnitude of the
trend observed by Sen's Slope. It observed that with the passage of time and change of climate the trends of precipitation
are going to decrease and very few trends show significant. In addition, for temperature trends are mix of significant and
insignificant but there increase of winter temperature and warming observed and decrease of summer temperature and
cooling observed.
