The Equation
This calculator uses this formula to determine the Net Water Application Rate of a traveling big gun sprinkler.
= Net Water Application (in)
= Flow Rate from the sprinkler(gpm)
= Irrigation Efficiency (as a decimal, or %/100)
= Travel Speed of the Big Gun Sprinkler (ft/min)
= Travel lanes width (ft)
