How much water is applied by a system during each irrigation setting?
The amount of water applied at each irrigation setting can be controlled by the duration of the irrigation, thus applying differing amounts of water for a newly planted crop or a maturing crop. A 600 meter line with a flow of 25 liters per second would apply 6.35 cm (2.5 inches) of water in a 6 hour irrigation setting. This would be sufficient water for most crops for a period of 10 to 12 days.
