Abstract

The comparative nature of meteorological drought studies is pointed out. A monthly rainfall-cum-two-layer soil model to arrive at the ratio of actual water transpired by a ground-shading crop to the potential transpiration need is presented. The use of such ratios for characterising the drought situations for a reasonably parameterised crop is explained. A case study for Disa station in Gujarat is presented.
