Irrigation expenses is the
product of price of water
per volume, the number of
volumes per day and total
number of days to be
irrigated from planting to
last harvest. This is
expressed as:
Irrigation Expenses =

Price of Water x No. of Volumes x Total No. of Days

Volume Day

harvest*
Estimated Workers =

Worker x Total Irrigated Area
