Abstract:- The trend of evaporation rate in north-eastern Nigeria spanning Borno, Yobe, Gombe, Bauchi,
Adamawa and Taraba states for the period 1981 to 2010 was carried out. The influence of meteorological
variables was tested and found to have significant impact on the spatial and temporal trends of evaporation rate
for three consecutive decades across the North Eastern Nigeria. The study seeks to establish whether changes
have occurred in the mean value of other climate parameters that are linked with evaporation rate. Data analysis
revealed that the highest impact of evaporation on temperature was 81.3%, temperature on evaporation was
96.2% and relative humidity on evaporation was 80.9%. The trend of evaporation was a polynomial function of
4th
order with high coefficient of determination ranging from 0.795 to 0.997. Effects of evaporation across the
region were all negative except at Yobe. The order of adverse effects was
Taraba>Adamawa>Bauchi>Gombe>Borno. The implication of this result is that rise in temperature increased
evaporation and relative humidity. Although the effects of climatic variables varied within locations, they
generally impacted significantly on the evaporation rate within the sub region. These were consequent to the
current increase in major climatic variables across the region over the 30 yr study period.
Keywords:- evaporation, spatial and temporal trend, north eastern Nigeria
I. INTRODUCTION
Evaporation is an important component of the hydrological cycle and has great effect on the water
balance of the earth surface. Higher evaporation rate creates more arid environment while downward trend of
evaporation results in a more humid environment. Pan evaporation (PE) is important because it gives useful
clues to changes in actual evaporation. In recent times, both local and global climate have undergone
tremendous changes. This is not unconnected with the increased human activities in the environment ranging
from deforestation and air pollution resulting from the fast growing industrial activities[1]
. Evaporation over the
land is a key component of the climate system as it links the hydrological, energy and carbon cycles[2]
. In view
of this, all climate variables have equally undergone commensurate modification. The cumulative effect of the
above is increased concentration of greenhouse gases which are continuously released into the atmosphere and
are impacting the environment. [3]
observed that the mean average global temperature has increased by 0.60
C
over that of the 20th
century. [4]
noted that the global temperature will experience an upward trend staggering
between 1o
C and 5o
C by the middle of the 21st
century. The global hydrological cycle is not left out in the
global climatic changes because it had already been predicted [3,4,5]
that there would be an intensified
hydrological cycle in response to increasing trend in temperature. Several factors other than the physical
characteristics of the water, soil, snow, and plant surface also affect the evaporation process[6]
.
Studies of evaporation trends from many regions have been conducted and conclusions vary.
Increasing pan evaporation trends have been observed in Bet Dagan, Israel, Phoenix, Arizona USA and
northeast Brazil by [7,8]
. However, decreasing trends in pan evaporation were reported by [9]
, in Austrailia,[10,11]
in
the United States and India respectively.
This study is the first attempt at investigating the temporal and spatial trends of evaporation across the
entire North-eastern region of Nigeria. The response of evaporation to changes in meteorological variables was
observed using Mann-Kendall statistics.
II. MATERIALS AND METHODS
The study site cover an area of aproximately 157,000 sq km located between latitude 100
03´ – 130
50´E
and longitude 70
43´ – 120
45´ N. Detailed descriptions of the various sites are as shown in Fig 1

The meteorology variables used for the investigation include: Pan Evaporation, Relative humidity,
Temperature and Rainfall. Monthly data of these weather variables were collected from the Nigerian
Meteorological Agency (NIMET) in Abuja, Nigeria. The data collected were processed into monthly and annual
mean values for all the stations. The integrity of the data was determined by collating the data from each of the
data source and checking for inconsistencies and gaps.
III. MANN-KENDALL STATISTIC
The Mann-Kendall (M-K) Test is a simple test for trend. Mann-Kendall is a
Non-parametric test and as such, it is not dependent upon: magnitude of data, assumptions of distribution and
missing data and irregularly spaced monitoring periods. Mann-Kendall assesses whether a time-ordered data set
exhibits an increasing or decreasing trend within a predetermined level of significance. The test compares the
relative magnitudes of sample data rather than the data values themselves [12]
. One benefit of this test is that the
data need not conform to any particular distribution. Moreover, data reported as non-detects can be included by
assigning them a common value that is smaller than the smallest measured value in the data set. When multiple
data points exist for a single time period, the median value is used. The data values are evaluated as an ordered
time series. Each data value is compared to all subsequent data values. The initial value of the Mann-Kendall
statistic, S, is assumed to be 0 (e.g., no trend). If a data value from a later time period is higher than a data value
from an earlier time period, S is incremented by 1. On the other hand, if the data value from a later time period
is lower than a data value sampled earlier, S is decremented by 1. The net result of all such increments and
decrements yields the final value of S. Let 1 x , 2 x , … n x represent n data points, then the Mann-Kendall
statistic (S) is given by

where: xJ represents the data point at time j.
xk represents the data point at time k
IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Based on the analysis of the presented data, the Mann- Kendall S indicated a highly significant
(p<0.05) variation in mean evaporation at the different locations, and over the years. Fig.1a shows that mean
evaporation was highest at Borno (11.3 mm/day) and lowest at Taraba (0.8 mm/day). In general, there was
successive significant increase in evaporation at all locations. Results similarly indicated high variability in
evaporation over the years, with the highest in 1998 and lowest in 2010. Location vs year interaction was
significant (p<0.05), indicating variability in relative evaporation pattern at the different locations over the years
(Fig.1b – d). Peak evaporation for Gombe, Adamawa, Taraba, Yobe, Borno and Bauchi were recorded in 1998,
2010, 2009, 2007, 1984 and 2002, respectively (Fig. 1e). These and other annual mean values depicted
consistent recent increase in evaporation at Adamawa, Taraba and Bauchi on one hand, in contrast to Gombe,
Yobe and Borno on the other hand. Location vs month interaction showed peak evaporation in February for
Taraba, March for Gombe and Adamawa, and April for Borno, Yobe and Bauchi (Fig. 1b).

Evaporation rates and its effect
Fig. 2 shows a highly amplitudinal trend of 4th
order polynomial for evaporation across the locations.
The trend is similar in all the locations, except Borno and Yobe. The trend of evaporation across the location
varies with rising and falling pattern. Similarly, the rate of changes in evaporation across the locations dipped at
monthly rate of 0.110 to 7.428 mm/day, in Adamawa and Yobe while the peaks ranged from 0.550 – 5.536 mm
in Taraba and Yobe (Table 1). The changes of evaporation experienced across the location with lower and
higher evaporation in Taraba and Yobe respectively indicates variation in infiltration rate, moisture absorption
and vegetation cover in the locations. This changes in evaporation has great effects on water level reduction.
Each millimetre of evaporation reduce water level by 17.72, 70.96, 95.10, 16.57 and 56.57 mm at Gombe,
Adamawa, Taraba, Borno and Bauchi, respectively. It could be deducted that evaporation was a major factor in
water level reduction of rivers in these sites. The adverse effects of evaporation on water level was in the order
Taraba>Adamawa>Bauchi>Gombe>Borno.
In contrast the positive effects of evaporation in Yobe was attributed to additional inflow received from other
sources. Thus, evaporation was not a determinant of decrease in water level in this area.
V. CONCLUSION
The results show that climatic parameters analysed are networked through several pathways but the
major impact on evaporation was the high temperature while rainfall was affected by relative humidity.
Evaporation was observered to be highest in Borno and Taraba the lowest. The changes of evaporation
observered has negative effects thus, causing reduction of water in the river in these sites. It is therefore
recommended that a regional perspective can also lead to an improved representation of trend of evaporation in
climate models.

N.1* and Sangodoyin, A.Y2 1 Department of Civil Engineering, Ramat Polytehnic Maiduguri, Nigeria. 2 Department of Agricultural and Environmental Engineering, University of Ibadan, Nigeria Abstract:- The trend of evaporation rate in north-eastern Nigeria spanning Borno, Yobe, Gombe, Bauchi, Adamawa and Taraba states for the period 1981 to 2010 was carried out. The influence of meteorological variables was tested and found to have significant impact on the spatial and temporal trends of evaporation rate for three consecutive decades across the North Eastern Nigeria. The study seeks to establish whether changes have occurred in the mean value of other climate parameters that are linked with evaporation rate. Data analysis revealed that the highest impact of evaporation on temperature was 81.3%, temperature on evaporation was 96.2% and relative humidity on evaporation was 80.9%. The trend of evaporation was a polynomial function of 4th order with high coefficient of determination ranging from 0.795 to 0.997. Effects of evaporation across the region were all negative except at Yobe. The order of adverse effects was Taraba>Adamawa>Bauchi>Gombe>Borno. The implication of this result is that rise in temperature increased evaporation and relative humidity. Although the effects of climatic variables varied within locations, they generally impacted significantly on the evaporation rate within the sub region. These were consequent to the current increase in major climatic variables across the region over the 30 yr study period. Keywords:- evaporation, spatial and temporal trend, north eastern Nigeria I. INTRODUCTION Evaporation is an important component of the hydrological cycle and has great effect on the water balance of the earth surface. Higher evaporation rate creates more arid environment while downward trend of evaporation results in a more humid environment. Pan evaporation (PE) is important because it gives useful clues to changes in actual evaporation. In recent times, both local and global climate have undergone tremendous changes. This is not unconnected with the increased human activities in the environment ranging from deforestation and air pollution resulting from the fast growing industrial activities[1] . Evaporation over the land is a key component of the climate system as it links the hydrological, energy and carbon cycles[2] . In view of this, all climate variables have equally undergone commensurate modification. The cumulative effect of the above is increased concentration of greenhouse gases which are continuously released into the atmosphere and are impacting the environment. [3] observed that the mean average global temperature has increased by 0.60 C over that of the 20th century. [4] noted that the global temperature will experience an upward trend staggering between 1o C and 5o C by the middle of the 21st century. The global hydrological cycle is not left out in the global climatic changes because it had already been predicted [3,4,5] that there would be an intensified hydrological cycle in response to increasing trend in temperature. Several factors other than the physical characteristics of the water, soil, snow, and plant surface also affect the evaporation process[6] . Studies of evaporation trends from many regions have been conducted and conclusions vary. Increasing pan evaporation trends have been observed in Bet Dagan, Israel, Phoenix, Arizona USA and northeast Brazil by [7,8] . However, decreasing trends in pan evaporation were reported by [9] , in Austrailia,[10,11] in the United States and India respectively. This study is the first attempt at investigating the temporal and spatial trends of evaporation across the entire North-eastern region of Nigeria. The response of evaporation to changes in meteorological variables was observed using Mann-Kendall statistics. II. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study site cover an area of aproximately 157,000 sq km located between latitude 100 03´ – 130 50´E and longitude 70 43´ – 120 45´ N. Detailed descriptions of the various sites are as shown in Fig 1
  • 2. Trends In Evaporation Rate In North Eastern Nigeria (1981-2010) 7 Fig. 1: Showing the map of North Eastern Nigeria Source: Lands and Survey Maiduguri, 2011 The meteorology variables used for the investigation include: Pan Evaporation, Relative humidity, Temperature and Rainfall. Monthly data of these weather variables were collected from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) in Abuja, Nigeria. The data collected were processed into monthly and annual mean values for all the stations. The integrity of the data was determined by collating the data from each of the data source and checking for inconsistencies and gaps. III. MANN-KENDALL STATISTIC The Mann-Kendall (M-K) Test is a simple test for trend. Mann-Kendall is a Non-parametric test and as such, it is not dependent upon: magnitude of data, assumptions of distribution and missing data and irregularly spaced monitoring periods. Mann-Kendall assesses whether a time-ordered data set exhibits an increasing or decreasing trend within a predetermined level of significance. The test compares the relative magnitudes of sample data rather than the data values themselves [12] . One benefit of this test is that the data need not conform to any particular distribution. Moreover, data reported as non-detects can be included by assigning them a common value that is smaller than the smallest measured value in the data set. When multiple data points exist for a single time period, the median value is used. The data values are evaluated as an ordered time series. Each data value is compared to all subsequent data values. The initial value of the Mann-Kendall statistic, S, is assumed to be 0 (e.g., no trend). If a data value from a later time period is higher than a data value from an earlier time period, S is incremented by 1. On the other hand, if the data value from a later time period is lower than a data value sampled earlier, S is decremented by 1. The net result of all such increments and decrements yields the final value of S. Let 1 x , 2 x , … n x represent n data points, then the Mann-Kendall statistic (S) is given by

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Based on the analysis of the presented data, the Mann- Kendall S indicated a highly significant (p<0.05) variation in mean evaporation at the different locations, and over the years. Fig.1a shows that mean evaporation was highest at Borno (11.3 mm/day) and lowest at Taraba (0.8 mm/day). In general, there was successive significant increase in evaporation at all locations. Results similarly indicated high variability in evaporation over the years, with the highest in 1998 and lowest in 2010. Location vs year interaction was significant (p<0.05), indicating variability in relative evaporation pattern at the different locations over the years (Fig.1b – d). Peak evaporation for Gombe, Adamawa, Taraba, Yobe, Borno and Bauchi were recorded in 1998, 2010, 2009, 2007, 1984 and 2002, respectively (Fig. 1e). These and other annual mean values depicted consistent recent increase in evaporation at Adamawa, Taraba and Bauchi on one hand, in contrast to Gombe, Yobe and Borno on the other hand. Location vs month interaction showed peak evaporation in February for Taraba, March for Gombe and Adamawa, and April for Borno, Yobe and Bauchi (Fig. 1b).

The trend is similar in all the locations, except Borno and Yobe. The trend of evaporation across the location varies with rising and falling pattern. Similarly, the rate of changes in evaporation across the locations dipped at monthly rate of 0.110 to 7.428 mm/day, in Adamawa and Yobe while the peaks ranged from 0.550 – 5.536 mm in Taraba and Yobe (Table 1). The changes of evaporation experienced across the location with lower and higher evaporation in Taraba and Yobe respectively indicates variation in infiltration rate, moisture absorption and vegetation cover in the locations. This changes in evaporation has great effects on water level reduction. Each millimetre of evaporation reduce water level by 17.72, 70.96, 95.10, 16.57 and 56.57 mm at Gombe, Adamawa, Taraba, Borno and Bauchi, respectively. It could be deducted that evaporation was a major factor in water level reduction of rivers in these sites. The adverse effects of evaporation on water level was in the order Taraba>Adamawa>Bauchi>Gombe>Borno. In contrast the positive effects of evaporation in Yobe was attributed to additional inflow received from other sources. Thus, evaporation was not a determinant of decrease in water level in this area. V. CONCLUSION The results show that climatic parameters analysed are networked through several pathways but the major impact on evaporation was the high temperature while rainfall was affected by relative humidity. Evaporation was observered to be highest in Borno and Taraba the lowest. The changes of evaporation observered has negative effects thus, causing reduction of water in the river in these sites. It is therefore recommended that a regional perspective can also lead to an improved representation of trend of evaporation in climate models.
