Abstract:

The diverse climatic conditions and water resource challenges in India necessitate detailed trend analysis and robust hydrological modeling to ensure sustainable development and water security. The integration of trend analysis with models like SWAT provides critical insights for managing water resources effectively in the face of climatic variability and change. By understanding historical trends and predicting future scenarios, policymakers and water resource managers can develop strategies that enhance resilience and ensure the availability of water for various needs, including agriculture, industry, and domestic use. This approach is essential for adapting to the impacts of climate change and for safeguarding India's water resources for future generations.
