Water use by grass and irrigation needs in Saskatchewan
Measurements from the Canada Department of Agriculture Soil Research Laboratory show that with ample moisture, daily water use by short grass roughly matches daily evaporation from a standard tank. Evaporation ranges from near zero in cool cloudy weather to over a third inch on hot windy days, averaging 0.2 inch in June and August and 0.25 inch in July. For May through September, about 28.5 inches of evaporation occur, with 9.5 inches supplied by rainfall. additional moisture is needed via stored soil moisture or irrigation to optimize grass growth. Sandy loams hold 125 inches of available water per foot, medium loams 1.75 inches, and clays 2.25 inches per foot. root depth varies by crop, with lawn grasses staying in 6–8 inches while pasture roots can reach 3–4 feet. In many seasons rainfall and stored moisture meet about half the water needs for well-kept turf, requiring irrigation to sustain July–August growth. Irrigation usually begins when 50–60% of available moisture is depleted. avoid frequent light applications and runoff or deep percolation. For pasture or forage on foam soil with 0.2 inch day use, about 3 inches of water are needed every 15 days. lawns benefit from 1 inch every 5–6 days rather than more frequent small applications. If sprinklers are used, check application rate with rain gauges or read a water meter to estimate mean depth for the sprayed area.
