Irrigation Reuse Water Balance Share Tool

Calculate irrigation reuse water balance share from explicit caller-supplied inputs.

Description

Calculate netAvailable=fresh+recovered-exported-evaporation and reusedShare=recovered/(fresh+recovered).

A farm or garden budget depends on a common area, quantity, observation period, and system boundary. Recovery, exclusions, overlap, and allocation change how a share is calculated. Supplied accounting or geometry terms remain separate from measured crop performance and verified environmental outcomes.

Calculate netAvailable=fresh+recovered-exported-evaporation and reusedShare=recovered/(fresh+recovered).

When to use this tool

Use Irrigation Reuse Water Balance Share when you need a clearly bounded area, material, resource, energy, or allocation term for supplied garden or farm records.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter fresh, recovered, exported, evaporation. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read netAvailable, reusedShare. Use the output convention below.

Calculate netAvailable=fresh+recovered-exported-evaporation and reusedShare=recovered/(fresh+recovered). Require nonnegative quantities and positive combined supply.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • NetAvailable can be negative because deductions are not capped. Water amounts must share one boundary and period; usability, treatment, weather, and irrigation suitability are not assessed.
  • The field tables state structural bounds; the mechanics also specify cross-field constraints. Malformed inputs and unsupported domains cause errors. A successful false flag, empty branch value, or zero placeholder has the meaning stated above and is distinct from an input error.
  • 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. Signed zero is exported as zero.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Verify the system boundary, units, and source records before combining this term into a resource or environmental report. Physical design and crop-performance questions require appropriate measurements and a broader model.
