Third, foreign and past project further increases the duration by 0.40 times compared to the domestic and past project.

Subsequently, we translated the conceptual model into a computational representation, thereby constructing a theory-informed simulation model. A behavioural dataset consists of 1,255,206 rural households from 119 villages over a span of 18 months was used to instantiate and validate the simulation model based on a specific scenario.

Utilizing a 70-year (1951–2020) high-resolution India Meteorological Department (IMD) gridded dataset, extreme annual rainfall across diverse Indian cities was extracted and modelled. Previous research and goodness-of-fit tests favour the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution for modelling extremes. This study incorporates indices like Nino3.4, dipole mode index, global and local temperature, CO2, and time to characterize nonstationarity in extreme annual rainfall, leveraging climate cycles and global warming. Performance assessment employs the Akaike information criterion, Bayesian information criterion and Likelihood ratio test, while quantile reliability is evaluated through confidence intervals (CIs). Findings reveal widespread nonstationary trends in most grid points, translating to wider CIs in estimated quantiles for chosen non-exceedance probability and covariates in fitted models. Generally, nonstationary conditions are associated with broader confidence bands in return levels, highlighting nonstationary model weaknesses compared to stationary models. However, the results showed that the rainfall extremes follow a nonstationary pattern.

Accordingly, the government should inform users that smart inspection is convenient and accurate. It is also attractive to users who wish to avoid on-site visits because of privacy issues.
