The IIABC with funding from the Canada British Columbia National Water Supply Expansion Program has developed a new agriculture irrigation scheduling calculator. The calculator will determine an irrigation schedule for all types of agricultural irrigation systems and crop types. The IIABC has also upgraded the landscape irrigation scheduling calculator to follow the same format. The calculators use real time climate data from www.farmwest.com to determine an irrigation schedule and information on when to apply the next irrigation. 
Users guides are being prepared that provide additional information and will assist users in selections made in the works tabs. Several User Guides have been prepared both for Landscape Sprinkler and various Agriculture Irrigation systems. A users guide for Landscape Drip is under development and will be added when completed. The users guides can be found under the Resources / Irrigation Scheduling Tab.
