Agriculture Border Irrigation Flow Calculator
Audit completed border supply time/volume and independent runoff, not rectangular racewayQ or recommended irrigation flow. Caller independently establishes units, regime, calibration and applicability; this does not establish design-code compliance, authenticity, operational safety, treatment efficacy or a validated forecast.
Description
Completed border-irrigation observations can distinguish gross supply flow from retained volume after runoff.
Completed border-irrigation observations can distinguish gross supply flow from retained volume after runoff.1
This tool summarizes supplied interval volumes and durations without recommending irrigation flow.
When to use Agriculture Border Irrigation Flow Calculator
Use this tool to summarize supplied interval volumes and durations without recommending irrigation flow.
How to use Agriculture Border Irrigation Flow Calculator and how it works
- Establish the observations, units, reference context and assumptions described below.
- Enter observedBorderSupplyLiters, observedBorderSupplySeconds, observedIndependentRunoffLiters and run the tool.
- Read observedGrossBorderFlowLitersSecond, observedRetainedBorderLiters using the meanings and sign conventions below.
- Correct any rejected inputs and rerun; independently review the result under the stated scope.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| observedBorderSupplyLiters | Nonempty nonnegative supplied water volumes in liters, one per completed interval. | array of number | Required; branch conditions below |
| observedBorderSupplySeconds | Positive completed supply durations in seconds, in interval order. | array of number | Required; branch conditions below |
| observedIndependentRunoffLiters | Nonnegative independently observed runoff liters aligned with supply intervals. | array of number | Required; branch conditions below |
Supply aligned nonempty arrays of nonnegative observed supply liters, positive supply seconds and nonnegative independently observed runoff liters. Return total supply liters/total seconds as gross liters per second, and total supply minus total runoff as retained liters. Runoff exceeding supply is accepted and yields negative retained volume; the caller must review the accounting basis.
grossLitersPerSecond=sum(supplyLiters)/sum(supplySeconds); retainedLiters=sum(supplyLiters)-sum(runoffLiters) Use the stated ordering, units and branch conditions.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| observedGrossBorderFlowLitersSecond | Supplied total liters divided by total supply seconds. | number |
| observedRetainedBorderLiters | Signed supplied liters minus observed runoff liters; negative totals are retained. | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
The calculation depends on independently established observations, coefficients and the matching units. It does not collect data, choose a treatment or target, establish model applicability or provide a validated forecast. Interpret its result within the branch conditions and assumptions above.
Supply explicit values and dense aligned arrays. Unexpected fields, wrong types and nonfinite scalar values are rejected; fixed-token, alignment and other branch conditions are explained above. A successful false flag, empty match list or unknown-evidence list differs from an input error. Extremely large inputs or nonrepresentable results may fail.
