NOTES:

1) PROPOSED IRRIGATION SYSTEM OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY IS ASSUMED TO BE 80%,
2) PROPOSED IRRIGATION SYSTEM TAP UTILIZATION EFFICIENCY IS ASSUMED TO BE 80%.
TAP UTILIZATION EFFICIENCY IS DEFINED AS THE AVERAGE DESIGN FLOW/AVERAGE
AVAILABLE FLOW.
3) PEAK SEASON IRRIGATION REQUIREMENT OF 0,23 IN/DAY IS ASSUMED FOR BLUEGRASS
AND IS BASED ON NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DATA AND A CROP COEFFICIENT OF 0.80.
4) A SEASONAL PRECIPITATION OF 12- INCHES IS USED AND IS BASED ON NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE INFORMATION. PRECIPITATION IS ASSUMED TO BE 25% EFFECTIVE.
