Current South Sac Valley ET Report: March 13, 2026

This report covers the CIMIS stations in Woodland, Davis, Staten Island, and Verona. More information on using ET Reports is available here. Bookmark this page and visit weekly for the most current report.

  • Accumulations started on February 24 for almond. Accumulations for prune, walnuts, and pistachio will begin as soon as leafout occurs for the 2026 season and the leafout date will be noted in parentheses next to the crop.
  • Estimates are for orchard floor conditions where vegetation is managed by some combination of strip applications of herbicides, frequent mowing or tillage, and by mid and late season shading and water stress.  Weekly estimates of soil moisture loss can be as much as 25 percent higher in orchards where cover crops are planted and managed more intensively for maximum growth.
  • Typical ranges in irrigation system efficiency are: Drip, 80%-95%; Micro-sprinkler, 80%-90%; Sprinkler, 70%-85%; and Border-furrow, 50%-75%
