Calculate: You can calculate an application rate and scheduling coefficient by entering readings from a field test. Click on the button for each station to calculate SC and application rate for each station.

Scheduling Coefficient: The scheduling Coefficient is calculated by comparing the application rate in the driest contiguous area to the application rate in the entire area.

Application Rate: The application rate is the average rate (usually expressed in inches per hour in the U.S.) that water is applied by an irrigation system.

Start Day of the Week:  Wateright will generate a  schedule.  You can control what day of the week the schedule period starts.

Schedule Period:  Wateright will summarize daily information into one, two, or four week intervals.

Type of Grass: Different turf will use different amounts of water.  Bluegrass is a cool season turf, Bermuda grass is a warm season turf.  If you are unsure of which turf type to choose, then select a cool season turf (i.e. Bluegrass which uses more water) to insure adequate irrigation.

Starts/Week:  How many times the sprinklers will be run per week.  For example:  if the sprinklers are run two times per day on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday then starts/week = 6 (2 x 3).

Adjustment:  If you want to fine tune the schedule you may change the adjustment value.  Often you will need to adjust your watering for micro-climates.  For example, less water is required for shaded areas.  Values are shown in percent.  100 percent = no adjustment.  Entering a value greater than 100% will result in additional watering time.  Typical values for the adjustment are from 80 to 120 (80 = less water, 120 = more water).
