Drip, Micro & Centre Pivot
Delivery capacity and irrigation recommendations for all three Phase 1 system types, including Micro Full/Strip/Pots classification.
Phase 1 · Development baseline
Irrigation scheduling your consultants can actually stand behind.
A replacement for the operational irrigation-calculator workbook: Farm and Orchard setup, weekly recommendations, planned-versus-actual recording and compliance-support reporting — with every calculation traceable back to the exact configuration version that produced it.

What the platform does
Scope is limited to the approved proposal, client clarifications and the consolidated SRS — deliberately not everything the legacy spreadsheet happens to contain.
Weekly recommendations
Hours/day, hours/week and m³/ha volumes, with partial first and final weeks handled by actual applicable days rather than an assumed seven.
Plan vs Actual
Daily planned and actual capture, rainfall records, sign-preserving variances and Consultant-configured mismatch flags.
Consultant-controlled configuration
Crop Factors, A Factors and calculation formulas are versioned, effective-dated configuration — not hard-coded values.
Field observations
Soil feel tests, lysimeter and EC/pH observations captured as advisory records that never silently alter a recommendation.
Compliance-support reporting
Daily, weekly and monthly PDF/CSV reports that keep m³/ha application distinct from measured m³ abstraction.
What it deliberately does not do
- No live weather, soil-probe or sensor/IoT integration — field data is captured manually in Phase 1.
- No irrigation-controller, valve, pump or Centre Pivot machine control.
- No automated submission to DWS, CMA, a Water User Association or an Irrigation Board.
- No claim of agronomic or legal certification — the tool presents calculated and advisory information only.
