Rubicon Water’s vision is to sustainably increase global food and fibre production by improving the management of irrigation water from the source through to its application to crops.
Our solutions are used by governments, water authorities and farmers to modernize gravity-fed irrigation supply networks and on-farm irrigation systems. They improve water-use efficiency through accurate measurement and accounting, eliminating spills, improving the reliability and timeliness of water supply, and enabling precise application to crops.
The investment in modern canal management systems supports the productivity, profitability and sustainability outcomes of the on-farm investments being made by the world's farmers by...
Using autonomous canal control, accurate measurement and precise water accounting software.
Using sensors and software to precisely monitor crop water demand and predict the optimal irrigation time
Using sensors, software, accurate measurement and remote-control technology

Surface Irrigation Automation Solution - Remote, automated operation of irrigation gates and valves provides the precise control needed to reduce water use and labor while improving crop quality and quantity.
BayDriveThe BayDrive is a remotely operated farm ditch gate actuator. It's designed to make surface irrigation less labor-intensive and more flexible so you can improve yields and reduce water use.
BladeValveAutomated high-flow valve for high-performance surface irrigation. The BladeValve is a remotely operated high-flow pipe valve that makes surface irrigation less labor-intensive and more flexible.
Ray ThorntonRay Thornton met all these needs and more by choosing a FarmConnect High-Performance Surface Irrigation Solution. The solution involved installing 69 automated BayDrive outlet actuators, a soil moisture sensor and a rain gauge to provide accurate information on crop water demand.
Russell PellRussell Pell installed high-flow gates and automated them using a FarmConnect High-Performance Surface Irrigation Solution. The result was higher yields and a better quality crop, while using less water.

Rubicon Water’s Next Generation FarmConnect, is a:
• Data driven platform that uses data analytics and predictive algorithms on cloud based computing
• Used to interpret real-time field conditions from smart sensors and connected devices.
• The solution’s deliverable is adaptive irrigation management using science-based prediction and field optimization to deliver irrigation prescriptions to each part of the property
• In addition to smart management of irrigation systems, newly generated ‘big’ data ensures continuous improvement from season to season or between enterprises.
Focusing on Surface Irrigation Automation:
• Rubicon Water has proven that automation is an essential element of High Performance Surface Irrigation, ensuring the On-Farm development programs achieve increased application efficiencies by using an integrated system of Automation and Crop Management to achieve increased productivity using less water.
• Surface irrigation is the predominate method of irrigation for food and fibre production worldwide.
• The potential for wider adoption is significant with on-farm application efficiencies for surface irrigation in the range of 85 to 95% is achievable.
• In addition, yield increase of 20% is achievable through smart sensor technology, connected devices and hardware, data analytics and agronomy and science.
