Abstract:

Different continuous probability distribution was used to characterize the annual rainfall of Yadgir district. The best fitted distributions for the annual rainfall data are Weibull (3P), GEV, Gamma (3P) and Gumbel based on KS–test. Nearly more than 70% of annual rainfall received from south monsoon (kharif season), the best fitted probability distribution for the period of south west monsoon are Weibull (2P), GEV, Gamma (3P), and Weibull (3P) based on KS-test. Among south west monsoon period September is highest receiving rainfall month, the best fitted continuous distributions are exponential, Gamma and Weibull (2P) based on KS-test.


Keywords: Weibull (3P,2P), GEV, Gamma (3P), Gumbel, Exponential, KS–test
