A number of management decisions are based on the annualized costs of owning and operating an irrigation system. Before developing land for irrigation, the first decision should be to determine whether the irrigation system will be economically feasible. In other words, will the net income from increased yields achieved by irrigation development exceed the added costs of owning and operating the system over its expected life? The IrrigateCost app models center pivot and gated pipe irrigation systems and the most commonly used energy sources. The app is also useful for determining a fair lease agreement when using a pivot to water a neighbor's field. Additional uses include: • Knowing what to charge for watering a portion of a neighbor's field. This app can help you determine the ownership costs the neighbor should pay in addition to the operating costs for each acre-inch of water pumped. • Estimating costs to pump an acre-inch of water to help you determine how many additional bushels of a crop are needed by applying one more inch of water at the end of the irrigation season.
