Irrigation Water
Requirements Cited -
It takes a lot of water to irri-
gate Stephens county farmers
planning on irrigation system
this spring might need to survey
available 'water sources according
to county agent Edward Gregory
"Many farmers who think they
have more than enough water to
irrigate don't realize just how
much water is needed" he ex-
plained "It takes nearly 30000
gallons to put one inch of water
over one acre Most home wells
just don't pump enough"
A minimum of eight to ten gal-
Inns per minute in continuous
flow is needed for each irrigated
acre A well producing 320 to
409 gallons per minute will us-
ually do a good job on about 40
acres of crops competing for mois-
ture at the same growing season
Since one-third of the irriga-
tion water diverted and applied
to the land is lost through evapor-
ation deep penetration and un-
even distribution the amount of
water furnished by an irrigation
system needs to be high enough
to supply plant needs and over-
come losses
