N2  - A study on rainfed agriculture in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam  is conducted. A mathematical model for water balance analysis in  paddy fields at large scale level is used. This model is refined  from a model developed by AIT. The upper limit of water depth is  reset, the date for starting simulation is determined by using  rainfall probability, and some parameters are changed to make more  suitable with t he conditions of the Mekong Delta. A computer  program is also written for the refined model.  In simulation model, the output will be the main factors,  namely number of stress days (with the consecutive stress period is  introduced) and drainage requirement. The other factors such as  effective rainfall, supplementary water requirement are also  provided, if needed.  The simulation work has been done for four units of rainfed  area in the Mekong Delta. The results obtained from simulation,  considering the aforementioned factors , indicate tha t two crops per  year are possible. Number of possible alternative cropping patterns  are also proposed
