ABSTRACT
Rainfall time series analysis is necessary for hydraulic design as well as for irrigation planning of a region. There are many methods to do the same, but non-parametric test is one of the most successful methods used by the researchers. In the present study, Weibull's and Gumbel's method has been used to study the rainfall pattern of Madar region which is semi-dry region in Udaipur district of Rajasthan. The results from this study revealed that Gumbel's method fits and predict the rainfall of this region with coefficient of determination of 0.97. From the analysis, it can be concluded that for this region the maximum rainfall of 1065 mm, 1092 mm, 1152 mm and 1167 mm has recurrence interval of 50 years, 60 years, 90 years and 100 years respectively. It can also be concluded that keeping in view the calculated probable rainfall extreme rainfall, hydraulic structures in this region can be designed.
