Abstract: The present study deals about the Rainfall assessment using various recent techniques with the help of remote sensing and GIS in Salem District, South India. The rainfall assessment carried over a period of 16 years from 1999 to 2014, which are clearly analyzed by using mean annual rainfall, mean seasonal rainfall, mean annual rainfall variability, mean seasonal rainfall variability, mean annual precipitation ratio and mean seasonal precipitation ratio methods. The methodology adopted based on literature study and which has given an accurate results. Therefore, the output shows that the study area has received 1 %, 19%, 41% and 39% of precipitation in winter, summer, southwest and northeast season respectively and the average annual rainfall is relatively more in N and NE and it is gradually decreases the eastern, western and southern parts of the study area. The rainfall variability indicates more than 100% in winter season except Nangavalli which is indicate the not dependable rainfall and other three season’s rainfall variability less than 100% except Veeraganoor station, which is indicate the dependable rainfall available during these period. The precipitation ratio is less abnormality during SW and NE season and high abnormality during summer and winter season. Finally, rainfall variation assessment depicts that the rainfall conditions in Salem district is normal and fluctuation depends upon time and space.
