Bow Island, Alberta
In our area of Southern Alberta, we try to size pivots to match the peak water use requirements of the crop. Most crops use about .35 inches of water per day which equals about 7 gallons per acre per minute. So a 40-acre pivot would need to be 280 gpm to keep up to crop water use demands.
