RESULTS Table 3 and Table 4 and Figure 3
synthesise the obtained results for comparisons
between sub-series. In what concerns the Return
Period and Magnitude to the N-year event calculi,
the results are as follows The return period for
an annual precipitation of 1000 mm ranges from
2.3 years in Barranco do Velho to 98.8 years in
Trindade, the average value to the basin is 41,2
years. The return period for a basin averaged 100
mm of month precipitation ranges from 2.8 years
in December to several million years in July and
August. The annual precipitation to the 100-year
event ranges from 1001.5 mm in Trindade to 2034.7
mm in Barranco do Velho. The average value to the
basin is 1116.3 mm. The basin averaged month
precipitation to the 100-year event ranges from
21.3 mm in July to 282.4 mm in December.

Figure 3- Moving average plots to 3 of the
studied sites (month precipitation of March) and
Basin averaged annual precipitation. In the March
plots is clear the precipitation decrease in the
last 30 years. In this time interval is clear,
too, the positioning of the 10 year moving
average, always under the 30 year moving average.
CONCLUSIONS This work demonstrated the
occurrence of climate change in the portuguese
basin of Guadiana river. This climate change is
characterised by a decreasing of month
precipitation in December, March, May and
September. The average precipitation recorded in
March decreased almost 50 in the last 30 years.
The average total annual precipitation decreased
7.2 in the last 30 years. The arid character of
climate in this area is increasing. The
desertification process happening in this area
will probably intensify in the next years.
