Automatic recalculation 

Directions:
1. ENTER ACRES for each field in the appropriate LIGHT BLUE BOXES (irrigated acres as certified by the NRD). You can use this calculator for up to four fields. The calculator will determine the sum of the certified acres.
2. ENTER WATER USED in each of the appropriate LIGHT BLUE BOXES. You can use this calculator for up to four wells. The calculator will determine the sum of the quantity of water used in all fields. You may enter any quantity, depending on how much water you expect to use. You may change the quantity if you want find out what would happen if you use more or less water.
3. If WATER USED is less than the allocation and any well caps, the calculator will determine the amount of carry over for subsequent year(s).
4. If water use exceeds the allocation and/or any applicable well caps, the calculator will determine any penalties and apply them to subsequent year(s).
5. If penalties and overdrafts result in no water available in subsequent years, this is indicated in the calculator.
6. Water quantities are expressed in total acre-inches for the field (acre-inches multiplied by the number of acres in the field).
7. The 2003 allocation, 15-acre-inches per acre, has been adopted as the official allocation. However, NPNRD has not yet established allocations for the years 2004 or thereafter. In the calculator, 14 acre-inches has been used only for illustrative purposes. The actual allocation may differ. The NPNRD Board of Directors expects to establish a 2004 allocation by January 1, 2004.

These calculators are intended to be used as planning tools for irrigators in Pumpkin Creek Basin. Every effort has been made to ensure that they are accurate. However, they are intended only for illustrative purposes. Enforcement of allocation and other regulatory controls in Pumpkin Creek Basin lies with the North Platte NRD’s Rules and Regulations for Pumpkin Creek Basin Groundwater Management Sub-Area, as interpreted and applied by the NPNRD Board of Directors.

Nor are these calculators intended to serve as a record of how much water is used in Pumpkin Creek Basin. Official records of groundwater use will be kept at the offices of the North Platte Natural Resources District.
