How to use the Sprinkler Water Usage Calculator

  1. Enter the requested field, crop, animal, equipment, or cost information.
  2. Keep every value in the unit shown beside its field.
  3. Select Calculate and review each result and assumption.

Formula and method

Session volume (L) = heads × flow per head × runtime. Weekly volume = session volume × sessions.

All head flows are added for the selected runtime, then extended to weekly and approximate monthly use.

Worked example

Twenty 15 L/min heads running 30 minutes use 9,000 L per session and 27,000 L over three weekly sessions.

Understanding the result

Treat the calculated values as a planning estimate. Compare them with your field records, product information, local conditions and operational capacity before acting.

Important: Results depend on the accuracy of your inputs and the assumptions shown. Local soil, weather, crop, animal and market conditions can change the appropriate decision.
