Video:IrrigationPump App

This video explains how to use the Irrigation Pumping Plant Efficiency Calculator (IrrigatePump App) developed by UNL Extension. The App calculates pumping plant’s efficiency powered by diesel, electricity, gasoline, natural gas, or propane. It also can estimate potential savings of system upgrades. This app is based upon the Nebraska Pumping Plant Performance Criteria (NPPPC), a standard used by irrigation design engineers worldwide. Defining the original criteria involved manufacturers, Nebraska Tractor Test data, and field evaluations of pumping installations.
