Water Quality & Reuse
Land IQ provides water quality evaluations, modeling, and analysis for irrigation, salinity, and nutrient management purposes. This includes large scale regulatory support and analysis for irrigated lands and nutrient management including the California Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program (ILRP) and the Central Valley Salinity Alternatives for Long Term Sustainability (CV-SALTS) program. Land IQ also conducts custom land application projects involving recycled water or water reuse on agricultural land.

Water Quality & Reuse Intelligence in Action
Since 2007, Land IQ has led an effort that creates an acceptable blended water quality for irrigation to alfalfa, cotton and sod on approximately 6,000 acres within the New Magma Irrigation and Drainage District (NMID) in Queen Creek, AZ.
Highly saline water is removed from a copper mine, treated to remove metals, and then conveyed in a pipeline 27 miles to NMID. The water is then blended with Central Arizona Project (CAP) water supply to provide an additional and safe water supply to growers within the District.
Land IQ has supported several multi-stakeholder processes for the purpose of obtaining permitting documents, educating stakeholders and satisfying discharge requirements.
Technical work has included soil, water and tissue sample collection for analysis and interpretation and developing a blending protocol, based on crop salinity thresholds. Land IQ is also responsible for all aspects of grower relations, including preliminary grower and NIMD Board contact and education, developing and providing informational pamphlets to growers, and regularly scheduled grower correspondence.
