I'm curious what's considered normal water usage per thousand (regardless of all your variables), for people like yourself that understand ETo. Am I grossly under watering?
I'm roughly around 650gal total for one morning of turf zones with ~45min soak delay between their second run. That's roughly 41 gallons per thousand? 767gal if you include shrubbery. I water roughly every three days, depending on conditions and fungus pressure.
16k turf total, roughly 2/3 Bermuda and 1/3 Zoysia, all irrigated. Six zones on hunter I20 SS PRB(40psi) rotors with 2gpm nozzles. Two zones on hunter mp rotators, one of which is shrubbery.
Bermuda is in/on subgrade quality rocky clay on a clay shelf with no drainage, and the zoysia is in/on sandy loam with fast draining vole tunnels
.
CEC ranges from 5.8 meq/100g to 13.7 meq/100g, but mostly toward 6.
OM ranges from 3.1% ENR106 to 6.6% ENR176, but mostly towards the low end, probably <4%.

My water usage this morning was around 767.5gal, which included shrubs:
