Although Taiwan has plenty of rainfall, the huge seasonal difference and extreme rainfall cause natural hazards, such as floods, droughts and landslides, to occur constantly. Climate change has changed the hydrological cycle nearly half a century, which does not only intensify the phenomenon talked above, but also impact the watershed's water resources applications enormously, leading to increasing casualties and economic losses. Therefore, understanding the reservoir watershed's rainfall trends and distribution under climate change could provide information for disaster risk reduction and watershed management. This study applies Mann-kendall test to analysis Mudan reservoir watershed's long-term rainfall trends. The precipitation data are captured from the Water Resources Agency and Central Weather Bureau's rainfall stations. The results show that the upstream Mudan station area has a significant increasing trend in annual precipitation and wet season precipitation, and significant decreasing trend in annual consecutive dry days. Furthermore, the downstream Shimen station area has a significant decreasing trend in annual dry days. |
