Historical IMD data reveals a compounding heat-drought trajectory across eight vulnerable blocks in Jhansi, a critical Bundelkhand water-stressed zone.
The Jhansi Hydroclimatic Assessment is a multi-volume study examining how shifting rainfall and temperature patterns are reshaping water availability across Bundelkhand's most vulnerable district.
IMD gridded rainfall (0.25°×0.25°, 1901–2024) and temperature records (1°×1°, 1951–2024). Trends computed using Mann-Kendall analysis with Sen's slope. IPCC AR6 1981–2010 baseline.
Water planners, agricultural policymakers, district collectors, NGO practitioners, climate researchers, and finance professionals engaged in climate risk across semi-arid India.

The full 18-page PDF includes detailed block-level spatial risk maps, IMD rainfall trend analysis across all 8 blocks of Jhansi district, heatwave intensity projections, Sen's slope magnitude tables, and policy-ready adaptation recommendations aligned with IPCC AR6 frameworks.
Additional sections cover groundwater depletion indices, seasonal onset shift analysis, Tx5d extreme heat day frequencies, and a comparative risk matrix for agricultural planning across Bundelkhand's most vulnerable blocks.
