    Traveling Big Gun Sprinkler Water Application

    Flow Rate:
    Irrigation Efficiency:
    (Minimum efficiency of DuCaR Sprinklers is 80%)
    %
    Travel Lanes Width:
    Travel Speed:
    Net Water Application:

     

    The Equation

    This calculator uses this formula to determine the Net Water Application Rate of a traveling big gun sprinkler.

    Traveling Big Sprinkler equation

    Net water application symbol = Net Water Application (in)

    Flow Rate symbol = Flow Rate from the sprinkler(gpm)

    irrigation efficiency symbol = Irrigation Efficiency (as a decimal)

    travel speed symbol = Travel Speed of the Big Gun Sprinkler (ft/min)

    Travel lines width = Travel lanes width (ft)
