For the purposes of long term planning for storage and conservation of water the Damodar Valley Corporation engineers wanted a long range forecast of monsoon rainfall in respect of the different catchments of the river Damodar. The problem was studied by correlation method and an attempt was made to forecast the June-September and June-July rainfall in the catchment areas by means of regression equation.
