How do I classify 'hose and pump' irrigation systems?
Remember
that details on irrigation are not required. This section only needs to be
filled out if you want help from the tool in calculating the amount of energy
use involved in irrigation (and therefore GHG). Since the Cool Farm Tool does
not have information on the energy use of a “hose and pump” system, I recommend
estimating the energy use in irrigation outside of the Cool Farm Tool. The best
way is a direct estimate of the amount of diesel consumed and/or kWh used, and
fill these values out in section 4.1. If you use 4.1 and do not need the tool
to help with energy use estimation, you could leave all of the irrigation
questions unanswered. If considering this comment, you still want to use the
Cool Farm Tool to assist with the estimation of energy use in irrigation,
“flooding” may be the closest.
