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.

A modeled 25% irrigation reduction for 10,000 crop acres — approximately 3,568,493 gallons potentially conserved per day, annualized.

Potential annual water conserved for 10,000 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.
Partnership · Validation in progress
GroundWorx + RainMaker.earth
For growers, the question is what happens in the soil after irrigation. GroundWorx is partnering with RainMaker.earth to independently evaluate the root-zone response to their water-treatment system using repeated soil measurements.
Water treatment, independently observed.
RainMaker.earth provides the irrigation water-treatment system. GroundWorx provides soil telemetry; GAIN adds site history and weather context. The aim is an evidence-based evaluation, not an assumed outcome.
No partnership savings figures or completed results are published. Soil readings do not directly measure plant uptake or gallons conserved; water-use records and agronomic checks are needed. Existing GroundWorx case studies are separate.

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.
Get a customized sensor planWhat 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.
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.
