Irrigator operates on a daily basis generating demands and extracting water to meet these demands via the water user and supply nodes. Irrigator maintains a daily water balance for each cropping area during its planting season to calculate the daily soil water deficit and an irrigation requirement. The irrigation requirements are used by the Water User to generate orders and opportunistic requests and to subsequently place orders and requests and to extract water from a water source.The model can be applied in both regulated and unregulated systems.
Configuring generic crop settings
Before configuring an Irrigator Demand Model on a Water User node, you must specify crop factors for the entire scenario using Crop factors defined in this way are accessible for each water user node. More details regarding this can be found under IQQM CropMod2 Demand Model(insert link here)
