DESCRIPTION:The seminar will present rainfall data in Indian regions over 
 the last 50 to 135 years concentrating on spatial and temporal variations 
 and extremes. General implications for soil erosion and the next 50 years 
 are presented as well as specific impacts using case studies of two abondo
 ned sites in northern India. The results reveal that regional climatologic
 al analyses are very important with large scale spatial averages especiall
 y at local decision making level\, which is very useful for broad scenario
 s such as climatological risk assessment. This study also revealed how the
  case study sites are vulnerable to recent climatic changes and susceptibl
 e to soil loss\; therefore needing immediate land management action by the
  local governing body. Although this study mainly concentrates on the data
  from India\, the methodology is transferable to other regions in the worl
 d. \n\n
