Abstract:
One of the key elements in rainfed farming, water management, and water distribution for protective irrigation is having the proper knowledge of the nature of the emergence of drought and its distinguishing features. There is a lack of information about the characteristics of the drought among the various developmental organizations and groups trying to resolve the issues in the area. As a result, sometimes in years with normal precipitation, crops fail due to a lack of proper use of rainfall and water resources. Hence, the present study entitled, “Analysis of rainfall for drought in Nandurbar district using standardized precipitation index (SPI)”, was conducted with the objectives; to analyze rainfall for drought using precipitation deciles (PD) and standardized precipitation index (SPI), to determine the onset and withdrawal of monsoon to determine probabilities of dry and wet weeks by using Markov-chain model and to suggest tehsil wise suitable cropping pattern.

The Study area of Nandurbar district comprises 6 tehsils viz., Nandurbar, Akkalkuwa, Akrani, Navapur, Shahada, and Taloda.
In selected tehsils of the Nandurbar and Dhule district, a drought analysis was conducted using the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) over a 12-month period. It is observed that in a decade, there are typically two or three wet years, two or three dry years, and four or five normal years, depending on the trend and frequency of drought in the decade. It was concluded that the frequency of drought increased in recent decade (2011-2019) in Akrani, Navapur.
