“…For that purpose it is important to determine trends in the changes in rainfall characteristics, just as several instances of research on change in rainfall characteristics have pointed out increased probable rainfall (Chikamori and Nagai 2002;Takeshita and Mitsuno 2005). There are concerns that changes in rainfall characteristics will have direct impacts on the environmental conditions for agricultural production, and especially great impacts in regions that depend on rainfed agriculture.…”

In order to find the changes in rainfall characteristics and to examine the flood damage to lowland rice, a statistical analysis was carried out on the 40-year daily rainfall record at four rainfall stations (Thangon, Paksane, Seno, and Pakse) in Laos. The rainfall record was divided into two periods of 20 years each. The results of this analysis revealed the trends in changes regarding the frequency and the timing of the heavy daily rainfall events at the four stations. In Paksane in particular, heavy daily rainfall events tended to occur in the latter half of the rainy season.
