How long does it take to see water savings with AgWaterAI?

No AI-attributable water-savings figure has been established.

What sensors does AgWaterAI use?

Sentek TriSCAN multi-depth soil moisture probes are the AgWaterAI standard. IrriMAX is self-serve. For other sensor brands (METER Group, AquaSpy, Acclima) our team checks feed access and handles the connection.

Does AgWaterAI work for SGMA compliance reporting?

It supports it. AgWaterAI tracks water use against your groundwater allocation every week, monitors deadlines, and prices penalty exposure from your GSA's published schedule where one is on file (the 21 published over-allocation schedules on file run $10 to $2,789 per acre-foot). Exports in the format your GSA files in are coming; filing stays with you.

What crops does AgWaterAI support?

AgWaterAI serves California orchards growing almonds, pistachios and citrus. Our stress models are trained on our own pressure chamber readings matched to soil probes and weather.

Is the water-use data AgWaterAI documents audit-grade?

AgWaterAI uses patent-pending cryptographic technology to record measured water use as a tamper-evident, audit-grade record. Whether a documented reduction translates into a tradeable water credit is subject to a valid baseline, additionality, GSA approval, and ongoing regulatory development. We provide the documentation infrastructure that VWBA and corporate ESG buyers require; we do not ourselves issue water credits. No credit volume, price or revenue is established.

Show the readings and decisions behind your water order.

Turn sensor readings and field checks into a weekly draft order.

On Platform, your own Certified Crop Adviser or adviser reviews the draft and makes the call. On Managed, our Certified Crop Adviser reviews the draft and makes the call.

The weekly workflow

Every week, the same loop.

A written Monday briefing, a Thursday draft water order in pump hours and inches, and the review that turns the draft into the order.

Three trained models run every week: two estimate crop stress, trained on our own pressure chamber readings matched to soil probes and weather, and one estimates the water each block applied from probes, weather and pump records. The Thursday draft water order comes from rules mined from our agronomist’s past orders. On Platform, your own Certified Crop Adviser or adviser makes the call. On Managed, our Certified Crop Adviser does. Separate rules flag probe faults.

Step 1

See what needs checking.

Review the block queue and the reason for each flag.

Step 2

Bring the field reading in.

Confirm the reading and keep it with the visit record.

Step 3

Your adviser makes the call.

Your adviser checks the draft and records the decision before sharing the order.

Every morning

Where each block stands: measured or estimated water use, allocation left, and soil moisture by depth.

Every report

Measured or estimated water use beside your allocation every week, each figure labeled. Exports in the format your GSA files in are coming.

Your approved order

Each issued order is kept with the signed reading summaries behind it. Those summaries are tamper-evident from signing forward. That's the part the rest of this page explains.

How the verification chain works

From soil sensor to tamper-evident record.

The report retains the evidence behind the issued order. Reading summaries are signed into the record, tamper-evident from signing forward. Later changes can be checked. It does not establish measurement accuracy, additionality or a volumetric water benefit, or replace independent review. Sponsor payments depend on separate project agreements. Patent-pending.

Labeled, every time.

Sample data is labeled sample. Estimates are labeled estimates. We report the test method and its limits.

What If My Sensor Goes Offline?

Sensor feeds can lose connectivity. Missing data stays visible. Any estimate is labeled with its source, and gaps remain marked in the record.

Bring a block you want to review.

Bring your crop, acreage and probe setup. We will walk through a sample week and which plan fits your farm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can see my sensor data?

Your raw readings belong to you. AgWaterAI and its service providers use them to deliver the service under our Privacy Policy and your agreement. Access to project records depends on your authorization and the project agreement.

Is the groundwater program live?

The groundwater program is a second revenue line in development. No sponsor has signed, nothing has been independently validated and no validator has been appointed. An SCS Global Services pre-validation review was requested on Oct 7, 2026. Any payment would depend on sponsor funding and the signed agreement. Measurement alone does not create a payment obligation.

How accurate are the water-use estimates?

Applied-water predictions are estimates, not flow-meter readings. Accuracy varies by site, season and calibration. Your agronomist reviews the available evidence; verify estimates independently before acting. Each model's test results are published on the models page.

Is the patent approved?

No. The technology is patent-pending. No patent has been granted.
