Abstract

This paper presents a user‐friendly tool for water budgeting and forecasting for multi‐plot fields to optimise the area under production. This tool will help the farmer in managing available water, ensuring that all the crops can be irrigated daily to meet current evapotranspiration demands. The “micro‐management” model is universal in application and facilitates the generation of additional information with alteration of the requisite parameter values and/or algorithms. The model is suited for increased degrees of management and operational challenges that are faced by irrigation systems serving fields, which are comprised of multi‐tenureship, and cropping patterns. Illustration of the model is carried out on small undulating landholdings in Beacon, Jamaica where multi‐cropping is being proposed with limited water supply.

In many long-term chronic diseases, patients pass through an observable sequence of ordered clinical states as their condition progressively worsens. Often the information on which disease state the patient is in is incompletely recorded, usually with information only available on the occasion of a
