Introduction• Rainfed farming• Crop water requirements• Rainfall seasonal distribution• Probabilities/chances/frequenciesMaterials and methods• Map of the basin• Rainfall data sources ( at least 2 stations per country)• Instat• SPIResults and Discussion (compare 3 catchments)• Maize water requirements• Rainfall amounts (CDFs)• Start and end of rain seasons• Frequencies• Dry spell probabilities• Drought – SPI• Compare maize and sorghum for all 6 stations for the above criteriaConclusion and recommendationsPossible Journals: Agriculture, Environment and Ecosystem / (Met Appl./J.
