Frequency analysis of water deficit for crop planning in Gujarat

Abstract

The frequency analysis of extreme weekly water deficit in different Agro-climatic Zones of Gujarat using the three most common distributions have been computed. ÷2 test for goodness of fit of the observed data to the theoretical distribution was also performed. The distribution that gave the lowest chi-square value has been selected as the best for that location and the predicted maximum weekly water deficit values have been reported.
