Rainfall and Runoff Trend Analysis in the Wadi Mina Basin (Northern Algeria) Using Non-Parametric Tests and the ITA Method
The aim of this paper is to analyze the temporal tendencies of monthly, seasonal, and annual rainfall and runoff in the Wadi Mina basin (north-western side of Africa) using data from five stations in the period from 1973–2012. With this aim, first, a trend analysis was performed using two non-parametric tests: the Theil–Sen estimator and the Mann–Kendall test. Then, to identify trends in the different rainfall and runoff values of the series, the Innovative Trend Analysis technique was further applied. The results of the application of the non-parametric tests on the rainfall data showed a general negative rainfall trend in the Wadi Mina basin for different timescales. Similarly, the results evidenced a general reduction in the runoff values, in particular in the Sidi Abdelkader Djillali and Oued Abtal stations, even though the results obtained for the Oued Abtal station are influenced by a dam. These results were further analyzed through Sen’s method, which enabled the trend identification of the different values (low, medium, and high) of the series.
