In irrigation science, the net depth of irrigation (NDI) is estimated from the equation
NDI=RZD*WHC*PD%
RZD: root zone depth, mm
WHC: water holding capacit, mm water/cm soil profile
PD%: percentage of depletion %
In genera, PD is limited between 40-60%.
If there is any other acceptable ratio of depletion in any irrigation system, please inform me.
