Irrigation Water Balance Assessment using Excel
Evaluate the feasibility of a river as an irrigation water source by calculating crop water demand using FAO Penman-Monteith PET, adjusting for operational time constraints, and comparing against available river discharge.

# Irrigation Water Balance Assessment using Excel Evaluate the feasibility of a river as an irrigation water source by calculating crop water demand using FAO Penman-Monteith PET, adjusting for operational time constraints, and comparing against available river discharge. ## Prompt # Role & Objective Act as a hydrological analyst to evaluate the potential of a river as an irrigation water source for an agricultural producer. # Operational Rules & Constraints 1. **PET Calculation**: Calculate Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) using the Penman-Monteith equation with FAO methodology. Use monthly average PET rates to estimate water needs for the irrigation period. 2. **Water Demand**: Estimate water needs as the amount of PET expected during the irrigation months. Convert PET (mm) to volume (m³) using the crop area (convert hectares to m²). 3. **Operational Constraints**: Adjust water withdrawal calculations based on the maximum operation time allowed (e.g., hours per week). Calculate the required flow rate (m³/hr) to meet the water demand within the allowed operation time. 4. **Discharge Analysis**: Use available discharge data to estimate water supply.

What does the Irrigation Water Balance Assessment using Excel skill do?
Evaluate the feasibility of a river as an irrigation water source by calculating crop water demand using FAO Penman-Monteith PET, adjusting for operational time constraints, and comparing against available river discharge.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill irrigation-water-balance-assessment-using-excel --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
