The water present in the soil in the form of moisture and absorbed by the roots of plants is known as soil water. It is also referred to as film water. Soil water is normally present from the surface of the soil to a depth of 100 cm. Although many factors play a role in determining the amount of soil water in the soil profile, the most important are precipitation and temperature. The way climate change events have played out in recent decades has resulted in an undesirable deviation in the trend of precipitation and temperature distribution, which also directly affects the amount of soil water present in the soil profile. The main objective of this research is to study the decadal changes in temperature distribution, precipitation distribution and soil water content in the soil profile between 1981 and 2021 in the study area. In addition, the correlations between the above variables will be investigated. This research work is based on analytical research method. Secondary data were used for this work. These data include temperature distribution, precipitation distribution, and the amount of water present in the soil profile during the period 1981 to 2021. From the analysis of the data, it is clear that climate change in the study area also affects the amount of soil water present in the soil profile. Due to variations in the amount of precipitation and temperature in the study area, the amount of soil water present in the soil profile also varies.
