Abstract: The Mann-Kendall test has been applied to detect the trends and abrupt changes of the precipitation and runoff for the Fujiang River basin. The contribution of precipitation to the runoff change has been estimated with the rate of change in the slope of cumulative amount. The results indicate that the annual precipitation and runoff have decreased significantly during the period of 1951-2012, especially after the 1990s, and the abrupt changes of the annual precipitation and runoff both occurred in 1968. The linear relationship between the annual runoff and precipitation is good, but poor in winter. The decrease of runoff could be attributed to precipitation change (71.4%) and human activities (28.6%).

Key words: precipitation, runoff, Fujiang River basin
