This study examines the trends, patterns, and variations in rainfall over the last 30 years in Zarqa, Jordan, focusing on understanding how these changes impact local water resources and agricultural activities. The primary goal is to assess the annual and seasonal distribution of rainfall, identify long-term trends, and analyze fluctuations in rainfall intensity and frequency. The research also aims to explore the implications of these trends for water management strategies, as well as the adaptation measures needed to address water scarcity issues in the region. By synthesizing historical meteorological data, the study will provide insights into how climate variability has shaped the hydrological cycles in Zarqa, offering recommendations for sustainable practices to cope with the challenges of reduced rainfall and its socioeconomic consequences. Ultimately, the study seeks to contribute to regional climate studies and inform policy decisions aimed at securing water resources for the future.
