This paper analyzes the spatio-temporal variation of precipitation using the monthly precipitation data from 12 meteorological stations during the period of 1960—2009 based on geostatistics and time series analysis methods, which can serve as the convincing evidences for combating drought and flood, debris flow and other natural disasters. The results indicate that: the average annual precipitation is about 910.5 mm, which has a decreasing gradient from southeast to northwest in the Jialingjiang River Basin. The precipitation shows downward trend in the last 50 years in the catchment, and has periodical features of 21 and 35 years. The precipitation has a rainy-normal-drier period in the last 50 years. The precipitation presents seasonal dynamics during the whole year, and mainly concentrated in the period of May to September, accounting for approximately 80% of annual rainfall. In addition, precipitation in spring and autumn demonstrates decreasing trends. In summer, most stations show downward trends except Qujiang River with an increasing trend, however, there is no significant trend for precipitation in winter. Nearly fifty years, the majority of rainfall occurred in a normal year, the rainy year was more common than drier year. Through the study, there is a decreasing trend in annual precipitation, but it is relatively concentrated in the summer and autumn through the year. Therefore, we should take some measures to prevent the floods, soil erosion or other disasters in flood season and take some measures to prevent drought in spring and winter too.
