Daily rainfall variability at a local scale (1,000 ha), in Piracicaba, SP, Brazil, and its implications on soil water recharge

Abstract: Daily rainfall variability at a local scale (1,000 ha) was studied at Piracicaba, SP, Brazil, for the period of one year (1993)(1994), in order to better understand the process of soil water recharge. Coefficients of variation of daily data for ten observation points varied from 2.2 to 169.3% and the variability was independent of rain type, i.e. whether convective, frontal or of other origin. Data were not related to separation distances between observation points and it is concluded that one observation poin… Show more

“…Reichardt et al (1995) discussed the problem of rainfall variability using the city of Piracicaba as an example, and demonstrated that spatial variability has to be taken into consideration and rainfall has to be measured as close as possible to the experimental area, as it was made in this study, especially for short time periods (e.g. 14 days).…”

“…The statistically higher average inventory found in the site R1, could be attributed to systematic differences of precipitation, soil and vegetation types, as mentioned by Owens & Walling (1996). It is well known that in tropical regions the precipitation can present a high variability at short distances when they are analyzed for short periods of time and that this variability can be very small when analyzed over the long run (Reichardt et al, 1995). Taking into account that the annual precipitation values for the studied sites are very close, it is difficult to interpret the real effect of the rainfall variability on the observed 137 Cs fallout systematic spatial distribution.…”

“…Como modelo alternativo, foi utilizado um pluviômetro constituído de duas garrafas PET de água mineral, instalado em uma haste contendo encaixes de latão rebitado e distante da superfície do solo (Tabela 1). A distância entre os pluviômetros foi de 2 m, para evitar possíveis interferências pela proximidade ou aumento da variabilidade nas leituras devido à distância (REICHARDT et al, 1995;SILVA et al, 2006). De acordo com os resultados obtidos por Souza et al (2013), o pluviômetro alternativo é o mais recomendado para a medida da P na região de estudo por apresentar facilidades construtivas e operacionais, como fácil manuseio e baixo custo.…”
