temperature, the value of which is expressed as<br />
kt = 0.0173t - 0.314<br />
kc = a coefficient reflecting the growth stage of the crop (Table B-I-1)<br />
Calculation of Monthly Supplemental Crop Requirement and Allocation<br />
The calculations to determine crop evapotraspiration are based on selected crop growth coefficients (Table B-I-1),<br />
rainfall, temperature and solar radiation <strong>for</strong> selected rainfall stations (Figures B-I-1 through B-I-15 and Table B-I-2)<br />
and net depth of application (Figures B-I-1 through B-I-15). In order to estimate monthly evapotranspiration, the<br />
District approximates equations (1) and (2) as follows:<br />
(3) f (m) = ( t (m) x p (m) ) / 100<br />
(4) kt (m) = (0.0173 x t (m)) - 0.314<br />
(5) kt f (m) = f (m) x kt (m)<br />
(6) U (m) = kt f (m) x kc (m)<br />
where:<br />
m = month of year<br />
f (m) = monthly evapotranspiration factor,<br />
t (m) = average monthly temperature (Table B-I-2),<br />
p (m) = monthly percentage of annual daylight hours (Table B-I-2),<br />
kt (m) = kt,<br />
U (m) = monthly evapotranspiration, and<br />
kc (m) = monthly crop growth coefficient (Table B-I-1).<br />
The effective rainfall available <strong>for</strong> crop evapotranspiration is calculated as a function of the 1-in-10-year drought<br />
rainfall as:<br />
(7) Rt1 (m) = ( 0.70917 x (Rt (m) 0.82416 ) - 0.11556)<br />
(8) Ul (m) = 10 (0.02426 x U(m))<br />
(9) F1 = 0.531747 + ( 0.295154 x D ) – ( 0 .057697 x D 2 ) + ( 0.003804 x D 3 )<br />
(10) Re (m) = Rt1 (m) x Ul (m) x F1<br />
where:<br />
Rt1 (m) = monthly effective rainfall factor considering 1-in-10 monthly rainfall,<br />
Rt (m) = 1-in-10 monthly rainfall (Table B-I-2),<br />
Ul (m) = monthly effective rainfall factor considering monthly evapotranspiration,<br />
F1 = soil factor,<br />
D = net depth of,application (see Figures B-I-1 through B-I-15), and
