Demand Management
Land IQ assists Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) with the development and implementation of demand management strategies to reduce groundwater pumping to comply with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). Land IQ recognizes the interdependence of land, management practices, and water resources, and uses advanced data science to help organizations prioritize land use and practices for their best use, while maintaining a thriving agricultural economy.

Demand Management Intelligence in Action
Land IQ assisted the Vina Subbasin GSA with two demand management pilot studies that were funded through a Sustainable Groundwater Management GSP Implementation Grant.
The Extend Orchard Replacement (EOR) study examined options for growers when the time between orchard removal and replacement is extended. The Precision Irrigation (PI) study explored if non-beneficial ET could be reduced without impacting yield.
Spatial data identifying crop type, crop age, crop condition, irrigation type, soil type, and ET were used as the foundational data for the EOR and PI pilot studies.
