The One Thing
Drip Irrigation systems are popular for their low pressure requirements and slow precise
application of water. Many drip systems do not have this capability due to poor scheduling. This is largely the case because their rates of
application are not known
![Page 3: “Get a Grip on Drip” · “Get a Grip on Drip” ... Let’ complete our final objective . The criteria for scheduling •Given –a calculated application rate of 0.25” per](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022063006/5fb6a6fe06505229d371eb73/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Situation
Irrigation runoff with drip irrigation systems into the waterways of the state and within the drip zones shifting water away from the intended
target. A significant loss of plant material due to poor scheduling. Much of this occurs
because drip application rates are not known!

The Answer is WUCOLS! (water use classification of landscape species) a key resource for WELO
![Page 33: “Get a Grip on Drip” · “Get a Grip on Drip” ... Let’ complete our final objective . The criteria for scheduling •Given –a calculated application rate of 0.25” per](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022063006/5fb6a6fe06505229d371eb73/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
WUCOLS categorizes over 3,700 landscape plants as to their plant water use.
A High water use plant in an 7.45 inch (ETO) month at 80% would require 5.96” of water.(7.45” x 0.80 = 5.96”)
A daily requirement is 0.192” (5.96”/31)

WUCOLS categorizes over 3,700 landscape plants as to their plant water use.
A Low water use plant in an 7.45 inch (ETO) month at 10% would require 0.745” of water.(7.45” x 0.10 = 0.745”)
A daily requirement is 0.024” (0.745/31)

• 0.2 cubic feet per minute must be converted to GPH (gallons per hour) (0.2 x 7.48 = 1.496 gpm) x 60 = 90 gph
• Area is 612 sq. ft

What about application rates for linear drip
• Since it is a grid, you’ll need to know the flow and the spacing!

You can measure the emitter spacing at 12 or 24” in the tube and measure the parallel
row spacing
But what is the emitter flow in GPH?
![Page 65: “Get a Grip on Drip” · “Get a Grip on Drip” ... Let’ complete our final objective . The criteria for scheduling •Given –a calculated application rate of 0.25” per](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022063006/5fb6a6fe06505229d371eb73/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

So let’s calculate with the “APP” a 12” x 12” spacing with a 1.0 gph emitter!
![Page 68: “Get a Grip on Drip” · “Get a Grip on Drip” ... Let’ complete our final objective . The criteria for scheduling •Given –a calculated application rate of 0.25” per](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022063006/5fb6a6fe06505229d371eb73/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
So calculating “APP” rates for linear drip can be easier as tables are available

The criteria for scheduling
• Given – a calculated application rate of 0.25” per hour
• A low water use hydrozone in Concord in July
• Watering every 4 days
![Page 71: “Get a Grip on Drip” · “Get a Grip on Drip” ... Let’ complete our final objective . The criteria for scheduling •Given –a calculated application rate of 0.25” per](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022063006/5fb6a6fe06505229d371eb73/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
4 days x 0.2408 = 0.9632 ETO
0.963 ETO x 0.20 = 0.193” plantwater requirement after 4 days
![Page 72: “Get a Grip on Drip” · “Get a Grip on Drip” ... Let’ complete our final objective . The criteria for scheduling •Given –a calculated application rate of 0.25” per](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022063006/5fb6a6fe06505229d371eb73/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Run Time Calculation – Point Source

What about runoff????

All bets are off if installation is poor or pressure is low
• 10 psi minimum for point source systems
• 15 psi for line source or emitters will not open
• Arrange point source emitters so all plant material on the hydrozone has the same application rate (see attached sheet)
• Do not use 0.9 gph or 1 gph linear tubing
• Keep line source tubing parallel

Plant material must be organized in valve groupings by water requirement – This is
known as a “Hydrozone”
