                         last century and its influence on the regional climate is a matter 
                         of concern. The average annual rainfall in that region is between 
                         2000 mm and 3000 mm, however, the microclimate of that region has 
                         turned to be drier lately. In this study, rainfall trend between 
                         1970 to 2001 was analyzed. As a result, a big reduction was noted 
                         in some critical areas and it was compatible with the land cover 
                         analysis. This result suggests that deforestation may have a 
                         significant impact on the short time rainfall regime in that 
                         region.",
