This tool applies a standard formula from the relevant domain. The computation is deterministic — given the same inputs, the result is always identical. The formula accounts for the primary variables that determine the output.
Interval (days) = Allowable depletion / Daily ET rateThe calculation requires: Allowable Depletion, Daily ET Rate, Available Water Capacity. Each parameter contributes to the final result according to the formula above. Accuracy depends on the precision of your input measurements.

Check the expected unit for each input field (shown as suffix). Converting between imperial and metric units before entering values prevents calculation errors.
Ensure denominator values (divisors) are non-zero. The calculator validates this, but understanding which fields cannot be zero helps interpret results correctly.
Calculate irrigation interval from allowable depletion and ET rate. Free irrigation schedule calculator for irrigation, schedule, and more. It applies the calculation formula (Interval (days) = Allowable depletion / Daily ET rate). For example: 1.5 in depletion, 0.25 in/day et — A typical use case demonstrating the calculator with representative values.
