Description
Return tree+intercrop-credit and available minus that union allocation.
Silvopasture and intercropping resource budgets depend on usable area, animal-unit equivalences and shared allocations. Nominal capacity ratios and water balances can reconcile supplied quantities while actual animal welfare, forage availability and crop-water requirements need a broader system assessment.
Return tree+intercrop-credit and available minus that union allocation.
When to use this tool
Use Orchard Intercrop Water Budget Share when checking the stated supplied water-allocation or animal-unit basis.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter available, treeAllocation, intercropAllocation, overlapCredit. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read netAllocated, remaining. Use the output convention below.
Require nonnegative available water, allocations and overlap credit no larger than either allocation. Return tree+intercrop-credit and available minus that union allocation.1

| treeAllocation | Tree Allocation | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| intercropAllocation | Intercrop Allocation | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| overlapCredit | Overlap Credit | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| netAllocated | Net Allocated | Required. Finite number. |
| remaining | Signed or clamped remainder under the exact convention specified above. | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Negative remaining water is retained; this bookkeeping term does not solve demand, soil-water transport or irrigation scheduling.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use measured system conditions and qualified veterinary, agronomic and water-management advice for actual stocking or irrigation decisions.
