AI that knows when to irrigate.
Know which blocks need a closer look, what to check in the field, and what the irrigator should run. Your adviser reviews the readings and the weekly water order. You follow the work on your phone.

Sample data. Follow the field-team walkthrough.
Trained on sensor and pressure-chamber history. Supporting the days between field visits.
A week in the field
A visit should end with a clear next step.
An example of the workflow, from the adviser's morning review to the grower's phone.
Plan the visits
Your adviser reviews the queue and the reason each block needs attention. A questionable probe reading goes on the check list.
Check the trees
The technician opens the Block Board, takes the chamber reading and records the visit. Captures can wait until service returns.
Review the water order
The adviser reviews the readings and the draft, then records the irrigation decision. The irrigator gets the blocks and the set to run.
Keep the week together
The work log holds the visit record. The grower can follow the water position where meters are available and see the decision behind the set.

The compliance floor
SGMA fines are real. Know where you stand.
BYOS at $20/acre/year brings allocation tracking, penalty exposure and a verification record to your existing probes, before the models learn your farm.
Sample data. Open the SGMA demo.
$30M
A Kern County pistachio operation: litigated penalty exposure on 1,600 acres of unpermitted pumping.
$566K
A Tulare County citrus operation: a single operation’s SGMA penalty case.
Up to $500/AF
Tier-2 over-allocation penalty caps in Central Valley basins, with schedules rising through 2040.
Verify allocation estimates with your GSA before pumping decisions.

Our stress models learn from our adviser’s pressure-chamber readings in California permanent crops. They need your farm’s chamber history to guide checks between visits. BYOS keeps your sensors and crew after we confirm the connection; with Managed, we install and own the sensors and run the field program.

Look below the surface.
Salt in the root zone
Salt can hinder water uptake; check moisture and the block before changing the set.
Drying from below
Wet surfaces can hide dry roots; compare probe depths before deciding what to run.

Can grant funding help with sensors?▼
SWEEP and EQIP cost-share can cover part of the sensor cost, and we file with you. Eligibility, award size and payment timing vary, and funding is never guaranteed.
Who owns my sensor data?▼
Your raw sensor data belongs to you. We do not sell raw or identifiable farm data.
What does AgWaterAI cost?▼
BYOS is $20/acre/year on sensors you already own. Free 30-day BYOS trial on your own sensors. The paid plan starts Day 31 unless you cancel in writing by Day 28. No credit card. After the BYOS trial converts, cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing quarter. Managed is $80/acre/year and adds sensor installation, weekly CCA field walkthroughs and grant filing support. Managed service, cancellation and sensor deployment terms are set in your signed agreement. Minimum 20 acres.
Can I keep my probes?▼
Keep your Sentek, METER, Irrometer, AquaSpy or other standard probes; connection to your existing feed usually takes days.
Can I keep my agronomist or PCA?▼
Keep your advisor and sensors, with readings that field walks cannot provide: cold roots, salt at the root zone and drying below the surface.
Who handles support?▼

What is AgWaterAI?▼
Trained models, sensor data and a CCA-led field program support California permanent-crop growers. No AI-attributable water-savings figure has been established.
