About this tool

Water applied to a field is often measured in acre-inches — one inch of water over one acre, which is 3,630 cubic feet or about 102,790 litres. Enter your area and the depth of water you want to apply, then the discharge of your tube well or canal outlet in cusecs or litres per second. The tool shows the volume and the running time.

In practice, field channel losses and uneven land mean real time is often longer, so treat the result as a minimum.

How to use it

  1. Enter the area in acres.
  2. Enter the irrigation depth in inches.
  3. Choose the discharge unit and enter your tube well’s discharge.

Example

Example

5 acres × 3 inches = 15 acre-inches; at 1 cusec that is about 15.1 hours.

Common uses

  • Planning tube well running hours
  • Estimating diesel or electricity cost (with the tube-well cost tool)
  • Comparing water turns

Limitations

  • Crop water needs vary by crop, stage, soil and weather — ask your agriculture department.
  • Losses are not included.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know my tube well discharge?

From the pump’s specification, a flow test, or by timing how long it takes to fill a container of known size.
