Water Prices Spiked Before. Will 2025 Repeat History?
In 2022, water prices soared by 87%— jumping from $685 to $1,282 per acre-foot when drought hit California. Now in 2025, with parts of Southern California already facing moderate to severe drought, many growers are asking: will history repeat? You can’t predict the weather, but you can adjust your sails.
Smart irrigation is more crucial than ever to protect your farm from water price spikes and growing uncertainty.
Why Smart Irrigation Is Essential in a Drought Year
Drought years increase both cost and complexity. When water is scarce and expensive, traditional systems fall short. Manual checks take time. Timers and guesswork waste water. One leak can cost thousands.
Verdi makes irrigation efficient and responsive. You can monitor real-time soil moisture, automate valve control, and receive instant alerts—all from your phone, and without digging or rewiring.
3 Ways to Save Water with Smart Irrigation Tools
1. Monitor soil moisture in real time
Use wireless sensors to know exactly when and where to irrigate. Prevent overwatering and reduce stress on crops.
2. Automate irrigation by block or zone
Set schedules by crop need, time of day, or sensor thresholds. Manage multiple zones remotely with precision.
3. Get alerts before problems cause damage
Stay ahead of leaks, clogs, or failures with automatic flow verification and instant notifications.
