Use this form to calculate the water application for a traveling big gun sprinkler based on the flow rate, travel speed, and travel lanes.

Traveling Big Gun Sprinkler Water Application

This calculator uses this formula to determine the Net Water Application Rate of a traveling big gun sprinkler.

= Net Water Application (in)

= Flow Rate from the sprinkler(gpm)

= Irrigation Efficiency (as a decimal)

= Travel Speed of the Big Gun Sprinkler (ft/min)

= Travel lanes width (ft)
