What Is Watering Depth?
Watering depth is the amount of applied water expressed as an equivalent layer over an area, usually in inches or millimeters.
Volume Spread Over Area
Depth links water volume to area. For example, applying about 2.5 US gallons uniformly over 16 square feet gives an equivalent depth of about one-quarter inch. This is a unit example, not a watering recommendation.
IrriSense 2 Product Context
IrriSense 2 supports mapped areas, schedules and use tracking. Watering depth helps explain how volume and area relate, but its inclusion here does not claim that a particular app version has a depth-control setting.
Common Misunderstanding
Applied water depth is different from the depth to which water moves into soil. Infiltration, runoff, evaporation and soil conditions affect the result.
