Irrigation Volume

<p>This tool is designed to help you determine how much water you are using on a daily basis for either part or all of your operation.  This can help you determine how many days your pond can last in an emergency or drought without refilling and gives you an understanding of your daily water use. It can also be used as a planning tool for future expansion. </p> <p>Add your irrigation blocks below and as you do so the total volume of irrigation used per day is calculated.  Similar blocks (for example if all of your overhead sprinklers that are the same type) can be copied, and the length or frequency of irrigation can then be adjusted.  It is recommended that you calculate your maximum values (for example your longest irrigations in summer) which will be your 'worst-case scenario'.</p> <iframe width='560' height='315' src='https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/RVX2h5_VSjo' frameborder='0' allow='accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture' allowfullscreen></iframe>

Select Irrigation Systems. Add as many as needed.
  • Impact heads are overhead sprinklers that have a spring-loaded arm to break up the water stream.
  • Wobbler-type heads are overhead sprinklers that spin around quickly because of the water pressure.
  • Spray-type sprinklers are placed just above the soil/substrate surface and direct water into a pattern onto the soil/substrate surface.
  • Drip sprinklers are placed on or just above the soil/substrate surface and drip water out of emitters at defined intervals (for example every 6 inches or 2 feet).
