Note: Calculator
features are continuing to be added to this tool. Thank
you for your patience.
This
tool is designed to help the farmers to manage the water
and irrigation delivered from the farm outlet by estimating
the:
- Efficiency of the current irrigation
-
Time of application of irrigation at each irrigation set
- Total Flow at the Farm Outlet
- Number of irrigation sets
- Width of each irrigation set
- Total hours of irrigation
- Irrigation Interval
The minimum required inputs to run the tool for the minimum
outputs are:
1 - Dominant Soil Group at the farm
2
- Dominant Crop group at the farm
3 - Furrow Length
The
maximum furrow flow discharges set are to provide the highest
irrigation efficiency:
| 50
gpm for 40 inch wide furrows |
| 75
gpm for 60 inch wide furrows |
How
to use the tool and the methods included are explained in
the Furrow
Irrigation Tool Manual.
