6 Crop Irrigation Use Estimates Overview of Methods Total water pumped by well determined using the Power Conversion Coefficient (PCC) method (Hurr and Litke, 1989) where: PCC = amount of electricity used to pump one acre-foot of water (acre-ft/kwh) Uses total kwh used during growing season to estimate total volume of water pumped: Volume water pumped = Total kwh used x PCC (acre-ft/kwh) = acre-ft Hurr and Litke (1989). Estimating pumping time and ground-water withdrawals using energy consumption data: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations p.
7 Crop Irrigation Use Estimates Overview of Methods Results derived using the Power Conversion Coefficient (PCC) method closely match those of Totalizing Flowmeter (Dash et al., 1999): The analysis was applied to 747 paired discharge measurements made at 105 wells during a 2-year period in Colorado. More than 80 percent of the differences were less than 10 percent. The overall mean difference was 0.0 percent, indicating no difference on average between portable flowmeter and TFM discharge measurements. Dash et al Comparison of Two Approaches for Determining Ground-Water Discharge and Pumpage in the Lower Arkansas River Basin, Colorado, U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. Water-Resources Investigations Report p.
8 Power Coefficient Conversion method for determining seasonal irrigation use Well selection criteria: Open discharge (not connected to underground piping). Well used on only one field. Dedicated electric meter. Increasingly difficult to find.
9 Power Coefficient Conversion method for determining seasonal irrigation use Flow rate (GPM) and electric power use (kw) recorded on monthly basis from April through September: April = pre-irrigation meter reading. Mid-Season = flow rate measurements. Sept = post-irrigation meter reading. Flow rate taken using ultrasonic flow meter calibrated against in-line flow meter and/or second calibrated meter. Non-intrusive approach to measurements required only temporary installation of portable flow meter.
10 Power Coefficient Conversion method for determining seasonal irrigation use Only rarely were producers aware that water use measurements were being taken. Approach leads to unbiased water use estimates (e.g., reduced potential for Hawthorne Effect). Hawthorne (Study Participation) Effect When an person s behavior is affected by the feeling of being observed or simply by the individual s participation in an experiment. Schwartz et al The Hawthorne effect and energy awareness. Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. 110(38):

23 Summary Crop irrigation use values are important in the management of water resources. Can be used to show trends in water and energy use and to project future irrigation demand. Crop water use is simple in concept, but good numbers require effort to obtain.
