Abstract

The article presents an analysis of precipitation indices of land and water resources management, climate-change monitoring and modelling of erosion which are based on rainfall series in South of Portugal. It highlights three indices depicting wet events and dry conditions which are being assessed on regression models. Overall, the study indicates that there is high probability of extreme precipitation and climate uncertainty.
