Smarter Irrigation, Better Future

Farming Smarter in a Thirsty World

Climate change and recurring droughts are pushing agriculture to do more with less. Traditional irrigation methods often overwater “just to be safe,” wasting millions of gallons each season and leaching nutrients from the soil. By contrast, precision irrigation guided by real-time data ensures every drop counts — sustaining yields and protecting ecosystems.

Across the industry, farms that adopt precision irrigation systems have reduced water use by 20–30% without sacrificing productivity — in some cases, even improving yields. One California vineyard, for instance, cut water use by 30% with no yield loss, demonstrating that smarter irrigation is both sustainable and profitable.

How Lumo Drives Sustainability

Precision. Insight. Automation.

Lumo isn’t just another irrigation controller — it’s a complete water efficiency solution built for modern farms. Our platform combines field-ready smart valves with cloud-based analytics and automation to give you total control over water use.

  • Leak Detection – Identify and address leaks immediately to prevent costly water loss events.

  • Data-Driven Optimization – Analyze usage trends, track flow, and fine-tune irrigation schedules for every block or zone.

  • Smart Automation – Schedule irrigations based on crop needs and soil conditions, or automatically adjust to meet water restrictions and off-peak energy rates.

By integrating Lumo, you’re not just saving water — you’re building a farm system that’s resilient, compliant, and future-ready.

DIG DEEPER

How much water can a farm save with smart irrigation?

Results vary, but most farms see 20% or more reduction in water use after switching from traditional scheduling to precision systems. For example, California growers using smart drip controls reported 25–30% less water usage with no yield loss. Lumo’s real-time leak detection and scheduling automation ensure every drop goes exactly where it’s needed — saving millions of gallons per season on larger farms.

Does conserving water mean my yields might suffer?

Not at all. The goal of precision irrigation is to give crops exactly what they need — no more, no less. Overwatering doesn’t improve yields; it can actually cause stress and nutrient loss. Lumo users often report equal or improved yields, sometimes increasing output by 5–20%, thanks to consistent moisture levels and better root zone management.

How does Lumo help with drought or water regulations?

When facing allocation limits or cutbacks, Lumo makes compliance simple. The system tracks cumulative water use and allows you to adjust all irrigation schedules by percentage to meet new restrictions. You can stay within your water budget while maintaining productivity — and the detailed reports provide proof of efficiency practices that can help secure future exemptions or participate in water trading programs.

Are there grants or incentives for installing this kind of system?

Yes — many regions encourage the adoption of smart irrigation. In California, programs like CDFA SWEEP fund growers who save water and energy through advanced systems. Lumo’s platform typically qualifies by delivering measurable water and energy savings. Our team can assist you in providing data-backed documentation to strengthen your application and maximize your funding opportunities.

From the Grower’s Mouth

Hannah Lindner Wente Vineyards
“With the Lumo valves, we have this micro control that we didn't have in the past. We know that what we are scheduling is getting executed, we know the timing is right, and we have confidence we’ll get the quality that we want from the vineyard.”
Gustavo Aviña Pine Ridge Vineyards
“I chose Lumo because the installation and the valve operation are very easy. We’re now able to do more precise irrigations, giving water to the vines when they need it, and only what they need. After we started automating irrigation, we produced the best fruit I’ve ever seen.”
Ryan Decker Clos du Val
“The product is plug and play without any wires to run or radios to set up. A flow meter is incorporated into each valve that is capable of delivering irrigation sets by a volume, instead of a duration. I’ll be able to log all irrigations, by volume, for any water use reporting requirements that either exist now or will in the future. I think that more than any other company I've worked with, Lumo has listened to what we've had to say in the industry.”
Tyler Klick Redwood Empire Vineyard Management
“The software platform is extremely easy to use and functions very well. When we have had issues, Lumo’s been out there before we even got there. The valves have been reliable and have really helped us fine tune our operation as it pertains to irrigation. Lumo is the first automated irrigation solution that I have confidence I can go to my clients and say, ‘If you want automation, this is something we can use.’”
