The Cultures module is where you can create and manage culture definitions that can be used for calculating water usage of orders at unmetered outlets.

# What is a Culture

A culture is a type of water use that is associated with an irrigation depth. Water usage for irrigating a culture is calculated from the area irrigated and the depth of the water supplied to that area as defined in the culture.
