Trend analysis of hydro-meteorological parameters in the Jhelum River basin, North Western Himalayas

The Jhelum River basin drains the entire Kashmir valley and is susceptible to floods, surrounded Himalayan Mountain range. trend analysis of hydro-meteorological data crucial for planning managing various activities (agriculture, design hydraulic structures) in basin. present study aims analyze trends annual maximum average discharge, maximum, rainfall was performed using Mann–Kendall (M–K) test, Sen’s slope, innovative (ITA) at stations. outcomes ITA test showed non-monotonic multiple stations different time series brought forth more significant changes data. Moreover, overall shows a decrease while discharge revealed increasing via ITA. depicts which would be useful future management water resources. discharges are due climatic change anthropogenic
