Water audit for agriculture
Answers
Answer:
When calculating water required on the farm, identify how much water is required during each month of the year. In certain months, depending upon whether you have stock or the type of crops being grown, water requirements might be more or less.
For example, drinking water requirements for grazing animals will vary according to weather, water quality, nature and quality of feed, age of animal, condition of animal and even social behaviour. Summer water requirement will be more than winter.
As another example, crops such as lettuce and cabbage need water right up to harvest whereas dry crops like maize or sunflowers require water earlier on as they grow, but have minimal water requirements during their ripening up until harvest stage.
