² Average year is based on 7 inches (180 mm) of water applied during the cropping season and an average system size of 100 acres.

³ Dry year is based on 12 inches (305 mm) of water applied during the cropping season and an average system size of 100 acres.

⁴ Estimated water savings may be -10 to +10% depending upon system needs and implementing changes based on uniformity test. Uniformity improvements will increase efficiency of water use.

⁵ Estimated water savings may be -15 to +50% if changes are implemented as a result of the irrigation audit. Irrigation audit effects will increase efficiency of water use across entire system.

⁶ Estimated water savings may be 0 to 10% if changes are implemented as a result of a major maintenance check. A maintenance check will help increase efficiency of the irrigation system.
