How does it work?

Traditional water metering methods lack spatial granularity, making fair irrigation billing and water-rights enforcement challenging. Sub-field ET analytics deliver accurate, remote measurement of crop water use, enabling transparent billing and optimized water allocation.

Sub-field Precision: High-resolution ET analytics measure water use per zone within fields. This granularity supports fair billing and targeted water management.
Transparent Billing: Standardized ET estimates ensure clear, auditable invoices. Water-rights holders trust the billing process with verifiable metrics.
Regulatory Compliance: Automated reporting aligns with water market regulations and reporting timelines. Real-time data reduces manual paperwork and audit risks.
Optimized Allocation: Identifying over- or under-utilized zones allows reallocation of water rights for maximum efficiency. This leads to balanced water distribution across multiple users.
Cost Savings: Accurate remote sensing reduces the need for expensive on-site flow meters and manual monitoring. Farmers and water agencies save on equipment and labor costs.
Seamless Integration: APIs connect ET outputs to existing water rights trading and billing platforms. Data flows automatically into accounting and market management systems.

How does this compare to traditional flow meter billing?: Unlike point flow meters, sub-field ET measures spatial water use across entire fields, capturing variations by crop zone. This approach reduces installation and maintenance costs while preserving billing accuracy without on-site hardware.
Why is satellite-based ET popular for water-rights markets?: Satellite-based ET offers consistent, repeatable measurements over large areas without manual data collection. Its scalability and regulatory acceptance make it a preferred method for transparent water trading and billing.
What are the limitations of sub-field ET measurement?: Cloud cover can interrupt optical satellite data collection, leading to intermittent gaps in ET estimates. Calibration with local weather and crop parameters is also required to maintain accuracy.
Can I use drone imagery instead of satellites?: Yes, high-resolution drone data can compute ET over small fields with greater spatial detail. However, flight scheduling and data processing may increase operational costs compared to satellite solutions.
How frequently are ET-based bills generated?: Billing frequency depends on your imagery cadence; typical satellite revisit cycles yield weekly to bi-weekly ET updates. Customized schedules can integrate drones or additional sources for more frequent billing.
Are there alternative solutions for irrigation billing?: Alternatives include soil moisture sensors and electromagnetic flow meters with telemetry. While they provide direct measurements, they lack spatial context and often incur higher installation and maintenance overhead.
