Farms, Ranches and Vineyards
Keep irrigation water clean and moving, from the reservoir to the field.
Reliable water for crops and livestock
Irrigation reservoirs and storage ponds on farms, ranches and vineyards are prone to algae and aquatic weeds that clog pumps, filters and drip lines. Some algae blooms can also produce toxins that are a concern for livestock and crops.
We identify what is growing, choose control methods appropriate for irrigation water, and address the nutrients and sediment that keep bringing the problem back.
Common challenges
What we help with
Clogged equipment
Algae and weeds that plug pumps, filters and drip systems.
Toxin concerns
Cyanobacteria blooms in water used for livestock and irrigation.
Nutrient runoff
Fertilizer and manure runoff that fuels recurring growth.
Lost storage
Sediment that slowly fills reservoirs and reduces capacity.
Stagnant water
Low oxygen and odors in stored water.
Irrigation label restrictions
Some aquatic products carry a waiting period before treated water can be used for irrigation. We plan around it so your irrigation stays on schedule.
How we help
Services built for your water
Aquatic Plant and Algae Management
Plant and algae control suited to irrigation and agricultural water. We choose products with no irrigation restriction where possible and schedule any holding time around your irrigation calendar.

Algae identification and toxin testing to protect livestock and crops.
Learn moreNutrient Mitigation
Nutrient mitigation, including phosphorus inactivation (a treatment that binds phosphorus in the water and sediment so less is left to feed algae), that addresses the cause of recurring blooms.
Learn moreSurface Aeration
Surface aeration that keeps storage ponds oxygenated and moving.
