Please, fill out the green highlighted cells only - each must be completed for the calculator to function.
This calculator is based on historical weather conditions in Colorado Springs and does not account for actual weather,
including rainfall, or site specific conditions such as slopes, microclimates, exposure to wind, or other factors that may impact
effective irrigation practices. It is intended to provide basic information to allow users to more effectively estimate irrigation
costs and manage schedules, but adjustments for actual weather and site conditions are critical and should be made
frequently. A rain sensor should be installed to account for rain events - these device may qualify for a rebate.
