How to calculate lawn watering time?

When temperatures rise, the lawn needs water for its proper development. It can be supplied manually with a hose or through an automated underground irrigation system. This second option is the most effective because it allows you to control the watering time and the amount of water that is added to the garden. Learn  how to calculate lawn hazard time below .

To calculate the watering time, the following data must be taken into account.

1. Amount of water a lawn needs. It is estimated that a conventional lawn, on a permeable soil, in the hottest season and in the absence of rain, needs 10 liters of water per m2 per day to keep it green. Currently there are irrigation control systems via wifi or bluetooth  that can help save water in the garden.

2. Pressure and flow of water available in the garden. The pressure and flow data in the garden water intake are essential.

Pressure can be measured by placing a pressure gauge at the water outlet. The flow rate can be calculated by filling a container whose capacity is known in advance and measuring the time it takes to fill.

3. Flow supplied by the irrigation emitters. These can be sprinklers or diffusers, among others. Depending on the pressure and the nozzle of the irrigation emitter, they emit a certain amount of water. To know it, you must look at the information provided by the manufacturer.


For an example of how to calculate lawn watering time , here is a case study.

Suppose there is a 74 m2 lawn area watered with 12 sprinklers:

• 4 90º sprinklers with T-1 nozzle that each supply a flow of 130 l / h
• 8 180º sprinklers with T-3 nozzle that each supply a flow of 220 l / h

1. The total of the flows emitted by the 12 sprinklers is added.

Total flow: 2,280 liters per hour.

2. The  available flow per m2 is calculated .

74 m2 ................................................ ....... 2,280 l / h

  1 m2 ................................................ ....... X l / h                        X = 30 l / h / m2

The irrigation system supplies 30 liters per hour and per m2.

How long should the lawn be watered per day to supply the 10 l / h it needs?

30 liters ................................................ .....60 minutes

10 liters ................................................ ...... X minutes       X = 20 minutes a day

It is recommended to water in the early morning 10 minutes and another 10 minutes at night to prevent the water from evaporating due to the heat.

The lawn needs maintenance to keep it looking nice . Therefore, it is advisable to learn  how to plant and care for the lawn . If you still do not have an irrigation network in the garden, it may be interesting to consult how to install a sprinkler irrigation .




Irrigation

• If you want your lawn to be green and lustrous, it is very important that you water it. The frequency of watering your lawn depends on the temperature and humidity. When grass needs water, it begins to turn bluish and gray, and the older leaves of the plant begin to curl or wilt. If you planted a new lawn, you will need to water it once a day so that the seeds can germinate and a strong root system can form.

In rainy climates it is necessary to water less than in dry ones. Irrigation should be regular and abundant in the warm season rather than in the cold.

The best time to water is in the early morning, late afternoon or evening.

• New technologies allow you to comfortably water your lawn. You can water your garden manually or automatically, with partial or total automation. You can even let   smart, programmable, automated sprinklers and irrigation systems do all the work. All you will have to do is program and position the sprinklers.
