Overview • Introduction • Brief presentation of the geoclimatic context • Simulated water balance components • Evolution of the model • DHC_CP functionalities • Simulated results CIRAD AGRHYMET
Introduction • Need to forecast the yields of food crops in order to : • best manage the cereal stocks, • control the fluxes and • start in time the food aids. • Heaviness of the techniques based on the statistical investigations and polls • Using the water balance simulation to obtain parameters allowing to estimate the yields.
The geoclimatic Context • The sudano-sahelian belt • CILSS member countries • Main crops • Average annual rainfall • Local constraints • Rainfall and its interannual variability • Drought spells during the crop cycle • The « Water management » approach AGRHYMET CIRAD

Probability of a rain event : Let Aj be the event of rain on day j and Äj the opposite event: p(Aj / Aj-1) = a11 p(Aj / Äj-1) = a01 Ajustment of rainfall amounts : for random rainfall generation, the repartition function is : F(x) = 1 - e-((x- x0 )/a) its reciprocal is : F-1(y) = x0 - a.ln (1-y) Synthesis : we know the three parameters that caracterise a given site for a given month (a01, a11, a). We are therefore able to generate as much likely rainfall sequences as we want. The Rainfall generator : theoretical basis Semi-random Generation probabilistic daily rainfall on a given site Ajustement of daily rainfall to a probabilistic law Data spatialisation using interpolation (logistic regression between stations) at a 25 km ´ 25 km scale.
