What This Calculator Does
Estimate irrigation runtime from zone flow and water target.
It combines Zone Area, Water Target, Zone Flow to estimate Weekly Runtime, Weekly Water Volume.
Formula & Method
Core equations: Runtime: t=\frac{Depth\cdot Area}{Flow} (unit-consistent), often using inch-to-gallon conversion.
Notation used in the formulas: R = Weekly Runtime; x_{1} = Zone Area; x_{2} = Water Target; x_{3} = Zone Flow.
Method summary: inputs are normalized to consistent units, core equations are evaluated, then secondary values are derived and rounded for display.
Use this calculator for quick scenario analysis. Start with baseline values, change one driver at a time, and compare how sensitive the results are to each input shown above.
Inputs Used
- Zone Area: Used directly in the calculation.
- Water Target: Used directly in the calculation.
- Zone Flow: Used directly in the calculation.
