Irrigation scheduling

Irrigation scheduling is the process used by irrigation system managers to determine the correct frequency and duration of watering.

The following factors may be taken into consideration:

  • Precipitation rate of the irrigation equipment - how quickly the water is applied, often expressed in inches or mm per hour.
  • Distribution uniformity of the irrigation system - how uniformly the water is applied, expressed as a percentage, the higher the number, the more uniform.
  • Soil infiltration rate - how quickly the water is absorbed by the soil, the rate of which also decreases as the soil becomes wetter, also often expressed in inches or mm per hour.
  • Slope (topography) of the land being irrigated as this affects how quickly runoff occurs, often expressed as a percentage, i.e. distance of fall divided by 100 units of horizontal distance (1 ft of fall per 100 ft (30 m) would be 1%).
  • Soil available water capacity, expressed in units of water per unit of soil, i.e. inches of water per foot of soil.
