Precipitation Extremes
It may be inferred from our study that higher moist convective instability coupled with enough moisture availability during the southwest monsoon season can increase the occurrence of deep convection. Hence the frequency of extreme rainfall events will also increase.
Managing Water in Thar
Despite sizeable knowledge of water conservation systems, compulsions of modern era developments have gradually turned the Thar poor so far as availability and workable traditional water harvesting systems are concerned. Sadly, it started with groundwater irrigation that turned much of the desert green.
