  <abstract>This thesis develops a computer software package which can be  installed on microcomputers, in order to implement a comprehensive mathematical model for evaluating the potential success of  rainfed agriculture in various region s . The study deals with the  Water Balance Analysis based on the Simulation of daily rainfall  and daily potential evapotranspiration .  In the Simul at ion , a Markov chain model with two stages where  rainfall amounts on wet day fire presented by a shifted lognormal  distribution was employed for daily da ta generation . The  parameters used in this submodel are computed from historical  rainfall da t a fil e. Th e Thomas-Fie ring mod e l was used to generate  the daily evapotranspiration.  Th e computer programs needed in the model were written in  Fortran with sufficient documentation to help the end- user in  app lying the package. Several important factors influencing the  potential success of rainfed agriculture were provided by the  package. Th ese will he l p the use r in determining suitable  planting dates for various crops , supplementary water requirement  as well as drainage requirement . Moreover, the package also  provides the user with the useful probabilities of daily  rainfall condition.</abstract>
