Most irrigation software covers a piece of the farm. Good Irrigation brings your controller, sensors, weather and energy together, checked every night, so you know what each block got, what it cost, and what it needs this week.
One sign-in for the whole operation — on the computer and on your phone.
Two views of every block, rebuilt every night: Soil Moisture Depletion — soil moisture against its target and the hours to refill — and the ETc report — % of ETc met and the hours to apply this week.
Hours, inches and acre-feet, soil probes by depth, pressure and flow, pump kW and your weather stations — compare blocks, zoom in, export to Excel.
Not just each block's total hours for the week: which days and hours every set runs. Building that is hard. We help you build it around your cultural work — sprays, mowing, harvest — so you know you're applying the right amount of water at the right time, without giving up yield. Then see each block's plan next to what actually ran, all while avoiding peak time.
Plan the season's water from your crop coefficients, track the acre-feet each block and pump actually uses against it — automatically, every night — and have the numbers ready when your GSA asks.
Peak hours are shaded on every pump's schedule, and we help you build a week that keeps your runs off peak. One step deeper: your utility meters matched to the water each pump delivers — kWh and dollars per acre-foot — so you see how efficient each pump really is.
Block outlines, then the devices you already run — WiseConn DropControl valves, sensors and controller nodes, and PumpSight pump monitors — connected to your blocks and pumps and shown on one map. Export it to Google Earth.
Every Monday, each block on one line: where its soil moisture stands, how last week went, and the hours it needs this week.

No new hardware to start: we connect to what you already run.
Your controller, sensors and weather stations, CIMIS, and your utility meters feed in automatically.
Every night the hours each block ran are checked against its pressure switches — stuck switches and radio dropouts are caught, not counted.
Let Good Irrigation do the math for you, so you can check, adjust and keep moving forward — on your computer, your phone, or in your inbox.
Start with ET Tracking for your blocks or Pump Tracking for your pumps, then add what you need. Priced per block or pump, per year.
Soil moisture vs target, deficits and hours to refill; probes by depth.
SGMA planning and tracking: the season budget from your Kc against the acre-feet used, ready for reporting.
Plan the season and the week around peak hours and field work; the Gantt of plan vs actual.
Energy bills, kWh and costs by pump; off-peak scheduling help and kWh per acre-foot.
What was injected, and where it went.
Every week we go over your blocks with you — soil moisture, ET, peak hours and your field work — and build the week's schedule together.
On top of weekly help: we build and enter the schedule for you, and keep an eye on it through the week.
Plans run January through December; starting mid-year, you only pay for the months left. Pay by card or bank transfer. Everyone renews together each January.
Good Irrigation, est. 2023, is based in Chico, California — 15 years of irrigation scheduling, automation, design & installation, pressure bombing and pumps put into one place.
