How do you calculate precipitation rate?
The average precipitation rate is expressed in inches per hour (millimeters per hour).
Irrigation Design Tip: Calculating Precipitation Rates.
US Measurements Metric
gpm = the total gpm applied to the area by the sprinklers m3/h = the total m3/h applied to the area by the sprinklers
S = the spacing between sprinklers
L = the spacing between rows of sprinklers
