✦ Synopsis

Information useful in agricultural planning may be obtained from rainfall data and the fitting of models provides a powerful method of analysing such data. The models used are briefly described, examples being given for data from Hyderabad, India. Results of interest may be obtained from the model using recurrence relations or simulation. The two techniques are compared by producing results on dry spells, the start of the rains and water balances.
