dc.description.abstractThis journal article highlights challenges facing the water sector at the global and national levels and the impacts of rainfall variability on the environment and socioeconomic conditions of the Sudan, while outlining factors that influence rainfall distribution. The paper also reviews rainfall prediction studies that use both the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event and global Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) as predictors. The use of SSTs gave satisfactory results, however a combination of forecast models is advocated to improve the quality of prediction.en
