Field-scale irrigation

Irrigate on root-zone truth across every block.

The iQ SmartTowers extend GroundWorx into production agriculture and high-value perennial crops, reporting soil moisture, temperature, and salinity at depth across open acreage. From old-growth olive trees to large date palms, irrigation decisions follow the root zone — not the calendar.

Live estimate

Production Agriculture: irrigating only what the root zone demands.

A modeled 25% irrigation reduction for 1,000 crop acres — approximately 356,849 gallons potentially conserved per day, annualized.

Potential annual water conserved for 1,000 crop acres

GAIN combines root-zone moisture, salinity, temperature, and weather context to predict irrigation need and reduce unnecessary watering.

Planning assumption: USDA Irrigation & Water Management Survey / USGS average of ~1.6 acre-feet applied per irrigated acre ≈ 521k gal per acre. These are illustrative facility benchmarks, not verified worldwide industry totals. The ticker spreads annual use evenly across 365 days and applies a 25% potential reduction. It is not measured live water waste, water already saved, or a guarantee. Actual needs and savings vary by climate, season, soil, and irrigation practice.

West · $7.50 per 1,000 gal

Estimate only, not a quote or guarantee. Basis: USDA Irrigation & Water Management Survey / USGS average of ~1.6 acre-feet applied per irrigated acre ≈ 521k gal per acre. Savings use a 25% reduction benchmark; annual utility savings use the selected modeled US regional water rate (West: $7.50 per 1,000 gallons), not a local utility quote. Map zones are schematic, not state-level service boundaries. Sources: GCSAA, USDA/USGS, and university extension irrigation benchmarks for water use. Actual results depend on climate, soil, water source, local utility rates, and current practices.

What you are up against

  • Pumping and water costs move directly with every irrigation decision.
  • Salinity and moisture vary widely inside a single block, grove, or palm stand.
  • Crews cover long distances to check conditions by hand.

What changes

Inputs
Time irrigation to measured depletion in the active root zone.
Salinity
Watch salinity build-up at depth and plan leaching before yield is affected.
Protection
Spot root-zone stress early around mature, high-value olives and date palms where replacement is costly and slow.

Typical deployment

What goes in the ground

  • iQ SmartTowers shipping on LTE Cat-1 with an elevation extension — an elevated antenna mast engineered for long-range cellular across large farmland and rural topography
  • Multi-depth soil profiles per block
  • GAIN block-level dashboard and alerting
  • Direct satellite NTN fallback is in development, not a shipping feature today

Open API

No walled gardens. Your data goes wherever you need it.

GAIN is built as an open, bidirectional platform. Root-zone telemetry streams out to any system you run, and context streams back in — irrigation run times, agronomic events, imagery, weather — so every prediction is made with the full picture. You own your data, and you can move it.

Bidirectional by design

Read every reading, prediction, and recommendation out. Write irrigation events, maintenance activity, and third-party observations back in.

Integrates at will

REST endpoints, webhooks, scoped API keys, and scheduled exports. If a platform speaks HTTP, GroundWorx can speak to it.

Your data, portable

Raw and derived telemetry are exportable at any time, in open formats, to your own warehouse. No lock-in, no gatekeeping, no export fee.
