The mean value, maximum value and standard deviation show a decrease comparing interpolated rainfall to estimated rainfall. Interpolated rainfall and estimated rainfall presented high correlation. The correlation coefficients are 0.82, 0.9, and 0.93 for 95, 96 and 97 respectfully. The relationship of seasonal integrated NDVI with interpolated rainfall and estimated rainfall was also examined. The table shows the result.
