I understand your point but I am only doing general estimation of how much water will be used essential to pipe design. I do not know what will be planted but only the acreage of the parcel. I could assume a 1.7 gpm/acre for example but I do not have any backup sources for my decision. I hope...
Does anyone know a reasonable demand factor (gpm/acre, gpm/edu??) for estimating irrigation demand for commercial, industrial, residential, parks, etc. I have found reasonable number for water consumption by using metering data but can't relate to irrigation demands. I suppose a peaking factor...
