Abstract
Trend analysis for 8 stations of Lidder watershed was performed using 3 Non-parametric and 2 parametric tests. It was found that upstream and downstream stations didn't showed much variation except one downstream station i.e Ader station which showed significant decreasing trend for spring, winter and Autumn season. It was observed during last 40 years, the glacier area in the basin has decreased from 45.82 km2 in 1969 to 38.98 km2 in 2010.Differential response has been observed between the upstream downstream region streamflow of the River. The insignificant decreasing trends in the downstream of the Lidder and the increasing observed trends of discharge at Ader discharge stations downstream could be primarily attributed to the Karst topography of the region.
