All,
I have done some searches and came up empty, I am trying to program my sprinklers etc but need so clarification on a few things...
Evapatorisation
I assume this is the amount of water taken from the lawn per day, when is this reset (time)
Irrigation Requirement
I assume this how much water is required to replenish the moisture, how does this get reset ?
Yesterday's water deficit
I assume this is a mirror of the Evaporatisation ?
Through the irrigation module i have entered the following info..
Soil Type = Silty Loam
Root Depth = 1" (new sod only a year old, not sure if this number is correct)
Managed allowable depletion = 50%
Calculated deletion = 0.1"
Based on this my water applied number is 0.125" (Does this seem normal and what does this mean)
I used the Wiki to calculate the run times so this is straight forward, however all is based on the data above. What to I program to turn on the sprinklers ?(Irrigation requirement, etc) ?. Also what is the cycle complete for ?.
Thanks
