According to 52-year precipitation data from 20 meteorological stations in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region from their establishments in 2012,the mathematical analysis methods such as the trend line method and 5-year moving average method were applied to analyze the precipitation variation characteristics in more than 50 years,and the precipitation Z index and the precipitation anomaly indicators of plus or minus 20% points were also used to analyze the characteristics of droughts and floods in the region, then a trend judg ment of the droughts and floods was made based on the symmetry of information forecast theory and commensurable calculation method. The results showed: (1) The precipitation in more than 50 years of Ningxia region was reduced at a rate of 8. 57 mm/10 a,and the arid trend was obvious since 1990s; (2) The drought and flood disasters occurred alternately, the frequency of drought and flood was 32. 7% and 28. 7%, respectively,and it was only 38. 5% in a normal year; (3) The droughts and floods occured with obvious characteristics of symmetry cycle,the drought years may occur in 2014 and 2015,floods may occur in 2017.
