We deliver advanced technology to optimise gravity irrigation
Controlling the delivery of water so that farms are reliably supplied when needed, without spills
Using autonomous canal control, accurate measurement and precise water accounting software
Timing the application of water to crops precisely
Using sensors and software to precisely monitor crop water demand and predict the optimal irrigation time
Applying the optimal amount of water to crops
Using sensors, software, accurate measurement and remote-control technology
How our technology enhances water management from source to crop
Our solutions can easily expand and adapt to meet your evolving water management needs
Sensor data indicates the optimal time to irrigate
The farmer request water via phone or mobile app
NeuroFlo Software checks network capacity and customer rights then approves or offers alternatives
Instructions are sent by radio to regulators and the customer’s farm supply point
The farm supply point automatically delivers requested water
The upstream regulator senses a drop in downstream water level and increases its flow
Each subsequent regulator up to the dam increases its flow rate
Only the exact amount of water is diverted from the source to replenish the water being withdrawn downstream
The farmer’s crops receive water at the optimal time, duration and flow to optimise application technology and improve yield
We are dedicated to addressing water scarcity by providing innovative solutions to governments, water management utilities, and growers. Our mission is to increase water availability and agricultural productivity through improved water-use efficiency. With advanced technology and a focus on precision water management, we empower our clients to optimise their water resources with unparalleled efficiency and control.
Rubicon Water targets these losses by delivering innovative solutions that enhance gravity-fed systems to improve water-use efficiency and promote a more sustainable future for agriculture and the wider community.
The Challenge and Opportunity
Challenge: By 2050, it is estimated that a 56% increase in food and fiber production will be required to feed the growing global population, resulting in an increase in demand of already strained water resources. Adding to this, projections indicate that 40% of the population will reside in river basins experiencing severe water stress.
Opportunity: Agriculture currently consumes 70% of the world’s freshwater resources, with only 40-50% of the water supplied through canal networks being efficiently used.
Diverse, Deployable Water Management Technology
Our technology revolutionises water management across a wide range of sectors.
With our solutions, irrigation districts can be transformed, on-farm water management can be improved, groundwater management can be implemented , dedicated environmental flows can be delivered, and aquaculture systems can be optimised.

Innovative Technology and Integrated Irrigation Systems
Rubicon Water offers a comprehensive suite of hardware products and irrigation management software (NeuroFlo), that are designed to revolutionise water management in gravity-fed networks.
Our flagship Total Channel Control (TCC) Network Control solution integrates smart automated equipment, such as control gates, flow meters, and radio technology, enabling autonomous operation of open canal distribution networks. This results in efficient and reliable water delivery, allowing adopters to achieve unrivaled levels of delivery efficiency.
All Rubicon products are scalable and TCC compatible, ensuring a future-proof investment for customers at any stage in their modernisation journey. Meaning that even if you start with a single Rubicon hardware or software product, our solutions can easily expand and adapt to meet your evolving water management needs.
