From the sensor in the ground to the decision on your desk, we turn water monitoring — groundwater, surface water, irrigation, and livestock water — into answers you can act on: what's happening, and what to do next.
Field sensing, flexible wireless connectivity, and cloud software to manage the data, run the analytics, generate reports, and automate control, delivered end to end.
Deployed on working Farms, Ranches, and Districts — from California's Central Valley to the Texas Panhandle, the Midwest, and the Mid-Atlantic.
End to End
Woodpecker delivers the entire monitoring solution as one integrated system — the sensor in the ground, the connection back, the processing in the field, the analytics in the cloud, and the reporting and workflows on top.
Field-grade sensors and devices that capture what's happening at every well, field, and asset.
The right connection for each site — private long-range wireless, cellular, satellite, or Bluetooth.
Local processing and automation in the field, so sites keep working without a constant connection.
Iris Central turns field data into a structured, defensible record — with reporting, alerts, and an open API.
Alerts, compliance reporting, water accounting, and optimization built on top of the record.
How It Connects
Most vendors make you adapt to their one wireless technology. Woodpecker designs the network around your operation — using whatever keeps each asset reliably connected, even where cellular coverage is poor. You don't manage radios; you get data you can count on.
We adapt the communications to your operation, not the other way around. The field hardware underneath is built for long deployment cycles and multi-year battery life — and for the engineers and integrators who want the specifics, the model, radio, and API details live on the specifications page.

In The Field
From row crops and orchards to rangeland, groundwater basins, and feedlots — Woodpecker systems run on working farms, ranches, and districts from California's Central Valley to the Texas Panhandle to the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Hover to pause · tap any photo to enlarge.
For Water Agencies and Districts
From basin-wide groundwater agencies to local irrigation and water districts, we design, deploy, and operate the field networks that turn basin and conveyance reality into a record you can act on, file with, and claim credit against.
Wells, surface diversions, conveyance, and weather observed as a unified network — at the scale of a basin-wide agency or a single water district managing its own canals and groundwater wells. Engineered as one system, not a patchwork.
Where regional satellite-derived ET estimates miss precipitation reality on the ground — particularly in the microclimates inside your basin — we put instrumentation in the field to ground-truth the numbers your sustainability plan and operating decisions depend on.
Quantify canal seepage, conveyance losses, and incidental groundwater recharge — so districts can claim the recharge credits their infrastructure already produces, allocate shares fairly, and document basin contributions with field data instead of estimates.
Auditable records for sustainability plan reporting, state board filings, recharge credit accounting, and the allocation and enforcement decisions that get contested. When stakeholders or neighboring interests question your numbers, your data is ready to speak for itself.
For Growers
You already know your fields. We give you the instrumentation to monitor what matters, optimize where it counts, and automate the routine — so every decision you make is grounded in what your fields actually show.
Soil, plant, and weather sensors — the field-specific data layer underneath every irrigation and operations decision.
Refine irrigation timing and volume using field-specific soil, plant, and weather signals — to save water, lift yields, and replace regional averages with what your fields actually show. For operations where irrigation is an economic decision, not just a compliance one.
Tie monitoring directly to valve and pump control — schedule, trigger, and adjust without driving the perimeter — with flowmeter compliance built in where GSAs and water districts mandate it.
What We Deploy
Modular hardware, connectivity, and cloud — configured for the specific monitoring jobs water agencies, growers, and dairies actually need done.
Well-network deployments for GSAs and groundwater conservation districts managing basin sustainability across their jurisdictions.
Diversion measurement, canal flow, and seepage characterization — for irrigation districts, small water districts claiming recharge credits, and rights holders filing with state boards.
Field-grade precipitation and ET observations where regional satellite estimates fall short.
Compliance-grade flow monitoring for GSAs, water conservation districts, and grower reporting.
Soil, plant, and weather sensing turned into crop-specific irrigation advice. Iris Central blends sensors with on-site ET and crop coefficients to recommend per-block run times for almonds, pistachios, blueberries, silage corn, and more.
Continuous lagoon and storage-pond levels with freeboard alerts for dairies — capacity tracking and records for Nutrient Management Plan and Waste Discharge Requirements reporting.
Whether you're allocating water across a basin or defending a single farm's record, the value isn't in dashboards — it's in having the right data, captured correctly, when the answer matters.
Our Platform
The cloud platform where Woodpecker solutions are delivered. Whether you're running a basin-wide groundwater network, an irrigation compliance program, a recharge accounting workflow, or a multi-site farm operation — the application you use lives in one consistent operator experience.
Field data, role-based access for districts and operators, configurable reporting and alerts, and an open API for your downstream client applications. The analytics layer underneath grows from baseline monitoring through advanced modeling — without the data ever leaving the record.
Talk to Us About Iris CentralMulti-Solution Platform
Groundwater networks, flowmeter compliance, recharge accounting, irrigation operations — every Woodpecker solution lives in one consistent operator experience.
Configurable Reporting & Alerts
Outputs matched to your obligations — state and agency filings, basin reporting, internal stakeholder updates, and condition-triggered notifications.
API for Client Applications
Iris Central data flows into the systems you already use. An open API keeps your team working where they want to work.
Foundation for Advanced Analytics
Baseline monitoring, water budget reporting, and the substrate where advanced modeling and custom analytics live.
Insights & Decision Support
Continuous data is the foundation, not the deliverable. Iris Central surfaces the patterns, anomalies, and pre-formatted reports that turn raw observations into operational decisions — across irrigation scheduling, basin management, and regulatory reporting.
Multi-year hydrographs, ET records, and flow histories surfaced on dashboards that aggregate across fields, basins, or districts. Spot seasonality, drift, and outliers without spreadsheet archaeology.
Configurable thresholds on any sensor — well levels, flow rates, soil moisture, ET. Email or SMS notification the moment a reading crosses a defined band, before issues become field problems.
Pre-formatted exports for state submittals, water rights filings, and stakeholder reports. Drawn directly from raw observations — no manual aggregation, no transcription errors.
How It Works
Woodpecker runs the whole deployment — you don't assemble radios, loggers, gateways, and databases yourself. Most operations start with what they need most, then expand once they see the value.
We assess your sites, assets, and coverage — wells, meters, and ponds, and where the signal has to reach.
We match the right sensors and the connection method to each site — not the other way around.
We install in the field and verify every device is reporting cleanly before we hand it over.
Dashboards, reports, and alerts configured to your workflow, so the data arrives the way you need it.
Monitoring, alerts, and maintenance keep the network running and the record unbroken.
