The University of California Cooperative Extension in Stanislaus County released an estimated water use report for the previous week on Apr. 24, covering evapotranspiration rates for almonds, peaches, walnuts, established vineyards, alfalfa, and pasture. The document is intended to guide local growers in planning their irrigation schedules for the coming week.
Evapotranspiration reports are important tools that help farmers manage water resources efficiently. These estimates allow agricultural producers to adjust irrigation based on actual crop needs and environmental conditions.
