Variability of Rainfall and the Cropping Season of a Tropical Dry Zone River Basin: A Case Study in the Malwathu Oya River Basin in Sri Lanka

Variability of Rainfall and the Cropping Season of a Tropical Dry Zone River Basin: A Case Study in the Malwathu Oya River Basin in Sri Lanka

The temporal and spatial rainfall variability impacts water resource management, agricultural productivity, and ecosystem health in river basins. This study utilized 44 years of daily rainfall data (1976–2020) at 27 stations across the Malwathu Oya river basin, Sri Lanka, to investigate the temporal...
