Start with the property. Aerial imagery, true scale, contours, soils, nearby canals, and diversions load around your ground automatically.
Irrigation planning from the map up
Map your fields, ditches, pipes, headgates, and risers on your own ground — then size the system, simulate the flow, and price the job before a single yard is excavated. One browser workspace, no CAD license.
No card required. Districts: your registered customers get full access free.
How it works
Simple enough for a landowner who has never opened CAD. Precise enough for the contractor, water official, and crew who have to build and run it.
Start with the property. Aerial imagery, true scale, contours, soils, nearby canals, and diversions load around your ground automatically.
Trace fields by hand, or start from a template — flood, border, furrow, pivot, hand line, district delivery, or residential lawn sprinkler.
Check flow, headgate capacity, set times, and warnings. Turn the water on and watch it run. Hand off DXF, JSON, or PNG.
The workspace
Design the system in the CAD workspace. Run and repair it in WaterOps. The same headgates, ditches, and fields carry across both.
CAD and records
Every field, gate, pipe, ditch, pond, contour, report, repair, part, and work order belongs on the same map.
Locate a property, work at true scale, trace fields, and place water infrastructure exactly where it actually sits — not on a blank sheet.
USGS 3DEP elevation, generated contours, and USDA soil detection inform slope, intake rate, and field water requirement.
Ditches, pipes, headgates, turnouts, and risers sized from the drawing — with velocity, pressure, and grade warnings.
Turn the water on, operate gates, and watch live flow totals, gallons, acre-feet, and field application build up.
Material lists, repair parts, estimated cost, actual cost, and work-order budgets — all from the same drawing.
Pull in canals, diversions, parcels, and water-right references from public agency data where it is available, so the plan lines up with the record.
Flood, border, furrow, district delivery, pivot, hand line, and residential lawn sprinkler — each loads pre-analyzed.
JSON project backups plus DXF for CAD, GIS, contractor, or agency handoff.
Structured project data drives draft irrigation plans with stated assumptions, warnings, and the field checks worth doing before you build.
Pricing
Irrigation districts and canal companies pay for the Official membership — their own registered customers get full access free. Individual ranchers and farmers who aren't with a subscribed district can join FieldFlowCAD directly.

Water operations
Water users, officials, and crews need one shared map for infrastructure context. WaterOps connects every report to the canal, headgate, valve, lateral, part, and work history behind it.
Map-click reporting ties blowouts, leaks, broken headgates, obstructions, and access notes to an exact location — not a vague phone description.
Priority, assignment, scheduled repair date, parts needed, and official notes stay visible right beside the map.
Field personnel mark work in progress, add notes, record parts used, and close jobs out with actual cost from the truck.
Infrastructure becomes a record over time: what failed, what was repaired, which parts went in, and when it happened.
Staff drop their own headgates, valves, pumps, and notes straight onto the district map — independent of anything a customer has drawn.
