“…It is crucial to investigate its potential factors in order to appreciate these variations in precipitation patterns. Corroborating with previous literature, the findings show a link between global surface temperature rise, long-wave radiation from GHGs (Agbo, Ettah, et al, 2023), and observable constraints in the chance of excessive rainfall (Okono et al, 2022). This is consistent with a previous study showing the impact of climate change on precipitation patterns by Abaje et al (2014).…”

Water scarcity is a growing challenge in many regions around the world, including Nigeria, where precipitation patterns have a significant impact on water availability for human and ecological systems. This research paper explores the role of precipitation in sustainable water management, drawing insights from atmospheric science research. In particular, we conduct a trend analysis of precipitation in key areas of Nigeria using the new Innovative Trend Analysis (ITA) method. ITA is a powerful statistical method that allows for the detection of trends and periodicities in time series data, even in the presence of non-linear trends and data uncertainties. Our analysis aims to provide a better understanding of how precipitation has changed over time in Nigeria and what implications these changes have for water management strategies and practices. The potential for atmospheric science research to inform future water policy and planning decisions are also discussed. The examination of precipitation trends using the ITA approach revealed a range of patterns, from reducing or trendless scatter points in the southern vegetation zones to increasing precipitation trends in the savannah regions; this emphasizes the need for context-specific water management strategies. Regions experiencing declining precipitation may necessitate adaptive measures to address potential water scarcity, while those with increasing trends require strategies to mitigate potential flooding risks. By combining meteorological data with reviewed insights from other disciplines such as hydrology, ecology, and economics, we can work towards a more sustainable and equitable management of water resources in Nigeria and even beyond.
