An analysis of the annual rainfall of three selected stations with long term data in Sutlej catchment and the annual run-off at Bhakra dam site has been made for their averages and standard deviations. Each series has been examined for general trend by (i) the low pass filter, (ii) Mann-Kendall test and (iii) comparison of short period averages with long period average. Further, the periodicities in the data series have also been examined by power spectral analysis.
