Abstract

Bangladesh has always been predominantly an agriculture based country. In early days, agricultural production was fully dependent on rainfall. Over the study period of recent 30 years, trend values of monsoon average rainfall in Chittagong, Dhaka and Rajshahi has risen as a consequence of the increase of the increase in rainfall. On the other hand, the trend value in Sylhet has declined with the decrease in rainfall. This paper has measured the correlation coefficients between rainfall and time for four stations: Chittagong, Dhaka, Rajshahi and Sylhet where correlation coefficient for Dhaka station and Sylhet station is maximum and negative respectively. This study indicates that climate change, global warming, destruction of hills etc. have disastrous effects on rainfall which is hampering not only the agricultural production but also the ecosystem. It is hoped that this research may be of help to the concerned organizations and experts working on this problem.
