Abstract: The intensity and variability of monsoon rain depend upon several parameters of atmospheric circulation, which in turn are interlinked with global climate. Changes in global temperatures are likely to make about 1500 billion cubic metres of surplus rainwater annually available. To capture this, and to cope up with variability, India would need to develop appropriate science, technology and skill.
