Rainfall received during past ten years, i.e. from 1998 to 2007 at Meerut was analyzed to plan the rice cultivation in the region. Analysis of data reveal that out of 10 years only one year was as drought year on the basis of annual rainfall while drought was more frequent on summer basis as compared to winter basis. This indicates that distribution of rainfall was erratic. Rice yield was affected by received rainfall during monsoon season and lower average yield (23.65 q/ha) was recorded in the years receiving higher rainfall. On the basis of average rainfall pattern 17.48, 33.96, 33.14 and 15.41 per cent, during monsoon months, i.e. from June to September a planning for rice cultivation can be formulated so that received rain can be used judiciously
