Abstract
In this chapter an attempt is made to find statistical relations between rainfall, yield levels and the drought index. For the whole of the study region, average yield data was compared with average annual rainfall as derived from Meteorological services databases. Data from all available rainfall stations within such a study region was included to generate this simple average rainfall figure. Two drought indices were added to the analysis. No clear relation could be determined.
