Historic Average Water Needs Estimate. Using Constant Days of Year.
This uses crop coeffcients for the chosen crop at 21 predefined days of year, and linear interpolation between those points. Crop development dates are for Eastern Washington. The vastly different climate zones across Washington means that these dates are often different (planting and harvesting for example). You might try crop coefficient curves based on growing degree days (GDD) instead.
