Irrigation: How much is one inch of water?

Irrigation is measured in inches (inches per square foot). The inch represents the depth of the soil irrigated and the square foot is the surface area irrigated. Most gardens need one inch of water per square foot per week to support the healthy growth of crops.

EXACTLY HOW MUCH IS ONE INCH OF WATER?

To find the answer, use the irrigation converter below. To use the converter, we first have to find out the volume of space that with which we are working. As said before, if the cucumbers need one inch of water per week, this represents the amount of water that will irrigate a depth of one inch over a surface area of one square foot. The cubic area in inches would therefore be 1” x 12” x 12” ie. 144 cubic inches of garden. To find out how much water to use, input 144 in the cubic inches section of the converter.

SO ... ONE INCH OF WATER IS... ?

The answer you will get is 0.5 imperial gallons. That would be the amount of water you give to one square foot of your garden each week.

One inch of water is 0.5 imperial gallons.
