Effects of dam on temperature, humidity and precipitation of surrounding area: a case study of Gomal Zam Dam in Pakistan.

Dams are studied not only for potential advantages but also for possible environmental repercussions. The objective of this case study is to see the effects caused by Gomal Zam Dam on temperature, humidity and precipitation in their surroundings, both spatially and temporally. The meteorology parameters' characteristics have been detected using two different approaches, Mann-Kendall statistical test and Sen's slope estimator. Data stations chosen were those that have been close to the dam and sufficiently far away from the dam. As a consequence, although temporal changes in mean heat were established, periodic and regional disparities in humidity readings were found.
