Abstract

This study examines and assesses the geographical perspective in understanding the monsoon and retreating monsoon. The study aims at analyzing the distribution of rainfall across the Kodagu district using the annual, monthly, and weekly rainfall data. The analysis was also carried out over the seasons namely, per-monsoon, southwest monsoon, and post-monsoon. The annual rainfall of three taluks of Kodagu district shows a significant variation during all four periods of study. The distribution of rainfall across seasons indicates a shift in rainfall pattern from southwest monsoon to post and pre-monsoon seasons. Problems faced by flash floods and relief organizations during handling related projects. Different periods have been studied and analyzed to develop an understanding of the disaster issue faced by the district.

Keywords: Monsoon rainfall; disaster; premonsoon; postmonsoon; flash floods
