Description:
Easy to use calculator for designers of lawn sprinkler
systems, for Palm OS® Handhelds (and includes
matching Windows desktop version).

Calculates:

Maximum system flow

Water velocity through various pipe sizes

Dynamic pressure based on static pressure, meter size,
pipe sizes and materials and length, number and type of
fittings, valves and backflow preventer

Determines  zone or system precipitation rate based on 1
to 3 different methods

Determines evaporation and transpiration rate based on
average temperature and humidity

Considers soil type, percent of slope, and whether
ground is bare or planted

From all these factors, it calculates a suggested watering
schedule (number of waterings per week and number of
mintues per watering)

Context-sensitive online help

Two versions of the same program are available: a
handheld computer version for Palm-type devices, and a
Windows version that simulates the handheld version on
your desktop computer

As you design sprinkler systems, HydroCalc™ lets you
eliminate many hours of work consulting books and
tables then doing the calculations yourself.

Fully functional Palm demo version, available  for free,
allows you to try it 10 days and includes a few "please
register me" nags. Desktop trial lets you try it 10 times.

Comes with an interactive tutorial that demonstrates and
instructs about every aspect of the program.
