IrriWatch review
Satellite analytics and irrigation planning for farms tracking crop water stress.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
IrriWatch, from Hydrosat, uses satellite data to support agricultural water management. It is aimed at growers and irrigation teams that need field-level insight for irrigation planning, crop-condition monitoring, water accounting, and performance evaluation. Its Advisor product brings together irrigation, crop, soil, and weather information, with daily water-stress alerts, field maps, and recommendations up to seven days ahead. Web, iOS, and Android access suits teams reviewing fields in the office or recording scouting observations in the field.
The product’s distinguishing focus is satellite-derived analytics rather than equipment operation. Users can view soil-moisture maps and a virtual soil-moisture probe, track applied water and evapotranspiration, and examine field history dating back to 2018. Mobile scouting notes can include photos and location. Irrigation performance benchmarking extends beyond individual fields to schemes and regions, while supported methods include drip, sprinkler, gravity, and other irrigation approaches. These capabilities make IrriWatch relevant to operations comparing water use and crop conditions across multiple locations, as well as farms seeking planning signals from satellite observations.
IrriWatch is subscription-based SaaS priced per hectare, and the published pricing approach is to contact sales for an amount. That structure is worth weighing for farms that need to assess cost against their area and planning needs. The platform supplies recommendations and analytics, not direct remote control of irrigation equipment, so it is not a fit for teams whose primary requirement is controlling equipment or automating irrigation execution from the software. Farms prioritizing satellite water-stress insights, water tracking, and planning should consider it; those seeking equipment control should look elsewhere.
