Abstract
The moisture adequacy indices, the ratios of actual evapotranspiration to the potential evapotranspiration, have been found to follow closely the Beta distribution. The goodness of fit of the Beta distribution to the moisture index frequency distribution was tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for 144 station-months and 36 seasonal curves. 25 moisture adequacy curves failed the K-S tests. The probability distribution of moisture adequacy indices has been further used to assess irrigation requirement, optimum evapotranspiration, water management, land-use pattern and crop planning aspects for optimum utilization of available natural resources in the region.
