Pumping Costs
Pumping costs for water can be computed based on the following equation:
CAF = (K *L * PKwh)/E where:
CAF = cost per acre-foot ($) K = number of kilowatt hours needed to lift one acre-foot of water one foot at 100 percent pump efficiency
L = lift of water (feet) E = overall pumping efficiency
PKwh = price per kilowatt hour of electricity ($)
