Know your ditch,
without walking it.
Cimarron Ag builds self-install, battery-powered water-level sensors for irrigation ditches and Parshall flumes. Depth and flow on your phone, and an alert the moment the water isn't where it should be.

Depth and flow, when you need it
A palm-size sensor mounts over your flume — no wires, no solar panel, multi-year battery. It reads water height and converts it to flow using your flume's geometry.
Text and email alerts
Set a high and low range for depth or flow. If the ditch jumps its range — a pulled headgate, a blockage upstream — you get a message in minutes, not at the next patrol.
Your water, your data
Readings belong to your account. Export them anytime, share them if you choose, delete them when you want. Built by a neighbor in the Uncompahgre valley, for water users.

What you'll receive. Automated water-level notifications for your own sensors — for example: "Cimarron Ag alert: 'North Flume' gauge depth is 14.2 in, above your 12.0 in threshold." Message frequency varies with your thresholds and water conditions. Message and data rates may apply.
Opting out. Reply STOP to any message to unsubscribe, or HELP for assistance. You can also disable alerts in your account settings. Phone numbers and consent are used only to deliver your alerts and are never shared with or sold to third parties.
