How do I establish how much water is being delivered to a set area in a given time?

Place catch cups randomly over the area to be irrigated. Then run the system for a set amount of time (say 30 minutes) and see how much water is collected in each of the catch cups. Average this out over all the cups.

For example, after 30 minutes of irrigation the average amount of water delivered was 5 mm.
