Here's the question - How much capacity (ft/acre or gph) would a well need to irrigate 80 acres of pasture?
Background - 6" - 8" of average rainfall per year in the desert southwest. The current well was installed to provide water for stock tanks. I'm pretty sure that the well would have to be redrilled, and I'm wondering if it would be practical to try to clear and install two 40 acre pivots. Seems like the biggest obstacle would be how much water you can draw out of the well.
Thanks for assistance :tiphat:
