Entering and importing weather and crop data.
After a network has been created, crop data can be entered by hand. In principle this is possible for grid-based networks and station networks alike. However as grid-based networks do not coincide with a ground network, it will usually not make sense to enter data manually.
Entering weather data manually
As the FAO water balance model is usually run with a 10-day (dekadal) time step, this example will show how to enter dekadal data.
Activate the Database - Manage Weather Data - Dekad function. In this example data for Bangladesh will be entered. 
New rainfall data will be entered for 2006. The filter at the top part of the screen is applied to reflect this. 
A new record of data (36 dekadal values for a year) can be entered after pressing the + sign in the toolbar at the top of the screen. In the next window, the station name can be entered.
