How to Use This Calculator

Enter Field size (acres), Baseline infiltration (in/hr), and Years of cover cropping.
Set Years of no-till, SOM increase (%), and Design storm intensity (in/hr).
Adjust Annual rainfall (inches) as needed.
Review the Improved infiltration (in/hr) result.
Use Infiltration increase (%) and Runoff reduction (%) to inform your decision.
