Failed_Season (Map Service)

Service Description:
A failed season is a season in which a crop has not produced enough to have warranted the input into the effort of planting it and carring for it. It is a season in which more human effort has been expended than the nutrition that has been harvested.

Developed by Peter Jones, this map estimates the drought probability based on the water balance and simulated daily rainfall. A failed season occurs when there is insufficient water to meet crop requirements. It draws on CIAT's MarkSim software and well known water budget algorithms.
