ABSTRACT

The flow from a sample of 143 irrigation wells from 6 irrigation areas in Wisconsin was measured using an ex ternal flowmeter during the 1983-84 irrigation seasons. The measured pumpages were correlated with reported pumpages. The equation that describes this correlation is:

where Qm is the measured pumpage and Qr is the reported pumpage.

This equation was used to adjust all reported irrigation pumpage, yielding a more accurate estimate of total irriga tion water use. The maximum total irrigation pumpage for 1984 was estimated to be 31,700 million gallons by using the equation and accounting for both reported and unreported pumpage.

From 1979 to 1984, irrigation pumpage increased a max imum of 25 percent and the maximum number of irrigation wells increased 32 percent.

INTRODUCTION

Irrigation is used in Wisconsin to increase the quantity and quality of crop yields, to protect against crop loss during dry periods, and to maintain the quality of recreational facilities. Sloggett (1985) estimated that irrigation increased 72 percent in Wisconsin between 1974 and 1983, based on an increase in the State's irrigated acreage. The largest in crease in irrigation was during 1976 and 1977 (based on irrigation-well permit applications). This increase was un doubtedly due to a drought beginning in 1976 (Tom

Calabresa, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource^, oral commun., 1985). After 1977 the installation rate of new ir rigation systems declined. Ground water accounts for approx imately 97 percent of the water used for irrigation in Wiscon sin (Lawrence and Ellefson, 1982, p. 98).

An accurate assessment of current irrigation practices largely depends on the analyses of an accurate data base. Ir- rigators using 70 gal/min or more from a well or a conbina- tion of wells on one property are required to report pumpage to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR). In addition to these data, the Soil Conservation Ser vice and the University of Wisconsin-Extension have com piled data on system type, water sources, power sources, and irrigated soil types (Soil Conservation Service, 1977).

Determining the accuracy of reported pumpages is useful to both irrigators and scientists. It is becoming increasingly important to know how much water is being applied to r field. Water applied in excess of plant requirements can promote leaching of fertilizer and pesticide from the soil to the ground- water reservoir and increase the cost of pumping. Storlie (Agricultural Engineering, University of Wisconsin- Madison, written commun., 1985) reports that many Wiscon sin irrigators overwater their crops, some by as much as 100 percent of the crop demand.

Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this report is to present a more accurate estimate of statewide ground-water use for irrigation than previously made. Irrigators generally calculate (and report) their pumpage based on rated pump capacity and the number of hours the system was running. Pumpage estimates can be incorrect if pump efficiency, pump capacity, or total pumpage hours are in error.

1

In this study pumpage from a statistical sample of ir rigation wells was measured, correlated with reported pumpage, and the relationship was applied to statewide reported pumpage data. The report does not include infor mation on irrigation from sources other than ground water, or nonagricultural irrigation. Reported pumpage data were assembled by DNR during the spring of 1985. These data are entered into a computer file that is maintained by DNR.

Methods of Study

The flow rate from irrigation wells was measured using a Clampltron Model 240 flowmeter 1 . This flowmeter uses ultrasonic waves to measure flow and is both noninvasive and nondestructive. Transducers are mounted on opposite sides of an irrigation pipe. A signal is passed through the pipe and fluid, and returned to the electronic assembly where it is translated into a flow rate. The Clampltron meter was calibrated at known flow rates ranging from 100 to 1,200 gal/min. An accuracy of about plus or minus 5 percent was obtained at flow rates less than 130 gal/min. At flow rates greater than 300 gal/min an accuracy of plus or minus 3 per cent was obtained. Storlie (1985, p. 31) presents a complete description of the flowmeter.

The State was divided into six irrigation areas to ease data collection and interpretation (fig. 1). The five major areas are groups of counties that have the highest concen tration of irrigators. Irrigation areas include: the northwest, northeast, central sands, lower sands, south, and "other" (which contains irrigation wells not located in the five ma jor areas). It was determined that 230 wells should be measured to obtain a Statewide statistical sample having a confidence interval of plus or minus 10 percent (the number 230 was derived from a regression analysis using 33 measured wells). A random-number generator was used to select approximately 14 percent of the irrigation wells from each irrigation area, for a total of 350 wells. This number allowed wells that could not be measured for various reasons (such as a temporarily unused well or wells for which per mission to measure could not be obtained) to be dropped from the sample.

About half of the irrigation wells in the State are located in the central sands irrigation area. Most measured wells are in the central sands irrigation area because the area contains a large number of wells and because it is readily accessible from Madison. Measurements in more distant areas were dif ficult to obtain because unpredictable storms would shut down irrigation.

Measurements of flow from 143 irrigation systems were made during the 1983 and 1984 irrigation seasons. Regres sion techniques were used to determine the correlation between measured flow and reported flow at the measured sites.1 The use of the brand name in this report is for identification purpose only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Attempts were made to correlate irrigatior area and type of irrigation system to measured flow. Although the age of the irrigation-system components may be a factor in the accuracy of reported pumpages, it was not considered in this study.

Statewide irrigation-water use estimated in this report has been incorporated into the State Water-Use Data System (SWUDS). SWUDS was created in 1984 as part of a national effort to quantify water use and is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey. SWUDS is updated annually and will pro vide data for estimating annual water use.

Acknowledgments

Appreciation is expressed to the many irrigators who allowed measurement of their wells. DNR provided a listing of reported pumpages used in this report. Appreciation is also given to Rick Stowell, an agricultural engineering stu dent, who measured wells during the 1984 irrigation season, and to Kraig Rury, for writing the compu^.r programs that aided in analyzing and plotting data.

ESTIMATED USE OF GROUND WATER FOR IRRIGAT ON

Estimates of total ground-water pumpage were improved by using the relationship between measured and reported pumpage.

Correlation Between Measured and Reported Pumpages

The discharge from 143 irrigation weHs was measured. Table 1 shows the location, irrigation area, system type, reported pumpage, and measured pumpage for each of these wells. There is a strong correlation between measured and reported pumpages (STD ERROR = 130.1). The equation that describes this correlation is:

(1)

where Qm is the measured pumpage aid

Qr is the reported pumpage.

Statistical analysis also indicates a difference in the cor relation of pumpage between central-pivot and traveling-gun- irrigation systems. Where data are availab'e on system type, accuracy of reported pumpages may be slightly improved by applying one of the following equations (STD ERROR =125.):

Gm =0.84 XQC

where: Qm is measured pumpage for a central-pivot system,

Qc is the reported pumpage for a central-pivot system, and

where Qm is measured pumpage for a traveling-gun system and

Qt is the reported pumpage for a traveling-gun system.

(3)

An attempt was made to correlate reported pump"ge to measured pumpage within each of the irrigation areas. Because of the lack of data in most irrigation areas, the validi ty of the regression equations is questionable and they are not presented in this report.

Adjusted Pumpages

Equation 1 was used to adjust 1984 reported pumpages. Table 2 shows reported irrigation pumpage and adjusted pumpage by township and range. Table 3 summarize? these data by county. Note that the adjusted total pumpage is lower than the reported pumpage.

EXPLANATION

Location of irrigation wells

Major irrigation areas

Figure 1. Location of irrigation wells measured for this study.

The adjusted total pumpage shown in tables 2 and 3 is a minimum value (18,182 Mgal/yr) because 43 percent of the irrigators did not report pumpage to DNR. Only those wells in the DNR file of high-capacity irrigation wells that had a completion date and monthly pumpage values are shown in tables 2 and 3, and on plate 1. Wells that either did not have a completion date or did not have pumpage values were excluded.

A maximum total pumpage for the State was calculated by including estimates for these wells without reported data. The average adjusted pumpage per irrigation well with reported data is 11.6 Mgal/yr. Multiplying 11.6 Mgal/yr times 1,162 (the number of irrigation wells without reported data) equals 13,500 Mgal/yr; the estimated additional pum page from wells without reported data. This value, added to the adjusted total pumpage from tables 2 and 3, should approximate the maximum total pumpage. Based on these procedures the minimum total irrigation pumpage for 1984 was 18,182 and the maximum was 31,700 Mgal/yr.

Increase in Irrigation Pumpage

Irrigation pumpage in Wisconsin increased by 25 per cent between 1979 and 1984. In 1979 Lawrence and Ellef-

son (1982, p. 98) reported that 29,600 Mgal were pumped for irrigation, based on the DNR file. Using equation 1 to adjust the 1979 pumpage so that it is comprrable to adjusted 1984 pumpage yields 25,337 Mgal in 1979.

In 1979 and 1984 there were 2,065 and 2,733 irrigation wells, respectively (the totals include both wells with reported and unreported pumpage data). This represents a 32-percent increase in the number of irrigation wells for the 5-year period from 1979 to 1984.
