Water Informatics review

Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026

Water Informatics is a crop irrigation monitoring and automation platform from Farm Data Systems, Inc. It is aimed at farmers, growers and irrigation districts, with components for pump and valve operations, irrigation scheduling, soil-moisture monitoring and climate tracking. The listed deployment is cloud-based and the platform is web-based. Its operational focus makes it a fit for farms that need visibility into water delivery and irrigation activity, rather than a general-purpose farm management system.

The product's strongest fit is monitoring and control across irrigation equipment and field conditions. It supports remote pump start and stop, valve monitoring and control, and tracking of pump flow, total, energy, well level and performance. An irrigation map provides real-time event tracking, while scheduling, irrigation pressure tracking and activity reporting help organize and review irrigation operations. Integrated soil-moisture data includes root-zone moisture monitoring, alongside climate tracking and weather-station data. These functions make it relevant where pump, well, valve and sensor information needs to be considered together.

According to the vendor's pricing approach, buyers need to contact sales for pricing rather than compare published plan tiers. The vendor describes a desktop/mobile interface, but that does not establish a native mobile app; buyers who require one should clarify the available access options. Email and phone are listed support channels. Water Informatics is a sensible option for small and mid-market operations centered on irrigation equipment and field monitoring. Farms looking for broader software coverage, or who need clear online plan pricing or a confirmed native mobile app, should compare alternatives before deciding.

Water Informatics pros and cons

• Where it wins
  • Remote pump start and stop with flow, energy, well-level and performance monitoring

  • Integrated root-zone moisture, climate, pressure and irrigation activity data
• Where it doesn't
  • Pricing is provided by contacting sales rather than through published plan prices
  • The listed platform is web-based, with no native mobile app established
  • Its focus on irrigation operations may not suit buyers seeking broader farm software
