In this paper, the standard precipitation index is investigated to study the rainfall characteristics in the Fuhe basin in China. Our study highlights some important and critical issues by analyzing the daily precipitation data of 17 hydrological stations spanning the years 1970 to 2008. Specifically, we have considered the precipitation distribution, the droughts and floods occurrence frequency, and the spatial distribution characteristics in the Fuhe basin by the year, the month and the day. The study provides a basic rationale in favor of appropriate water management, and the inhabitant’s coordination and management, and drought and flood mitigation in the Fuhe basin in Jiangxi, China.
