Hi,

The following are the queries with respect to irrigation calculations:

1. While calculating the area of trees, do we have to consider the area of the trunk or the fully grown coverage of the trees? ANd can we apply the same logic for calculating the area of shrubs?

2. For irrigation systems that are provided with a hose and the watering be done with a specific frequency of once in two days, what is the value of Efficiency (IE) that can be considered during calculations?
