Drip irrigation runtime calculator
Turn emitter flow and a water target into run times, zone flows and a downloadable watering schedule.
Up to 100,000 plants, 100 emitters per plant and 1,000 zones. Every plant shares the same emitter setup and water target. Change the input or settings to update your result. Results update as you type. Up to 1,000,000 characters.

How to use Drip irrigation runtime calculator
- Enter your measured quantities, units and assumptions.
- Review the calculated result and the stated limits.
- Download the report or plan for your project.
Useful next steps
Use the flow for your emitters
Enter emitters per plant, their nominal flow and the water you want to reach each plant. The application efficiency accounts for your assumed losses. No crop-specific watering target is selected.
Compare zone schedules
Plants are divided as evenly as whole numbers allow. Run zones sequentially or together and compare their peak nominal demand with the supply flow you enter. A flow comparison does not validate pressure or soil absorption.
Save the measurements and assumptions
Download CSV and a text or JSON report. The calculation runs on your device. Changing a unit keeps the number you entered, so check both before using the result.
