Abstract
An attempt has been made through the agroclimatic approach (water balance technique) to know the soil moisture status of various regions of the Yemen Arab Republic to provide basis for crop planning in different seasons and areas under the rainfed conditions of the country. The monthly and yearly water balances were worked out according to Thornthwaite (1955) procedure for 10 stations viz., Alzohra, Amran, Dhamar, Gumesha, Hodeidah, Marib, Mokha, Sana’s, Tais and Wadi Zabid for a period ranging from 2 years to 12 years. Also weekly water balances were worked out for 3 stations viz., Hodeidah, Sana’s and Tais for a period ranging from 3 years to 5 years.
