Water Management Solutions
Two decades of helping farms manage water, now applied to agencies and infrastructure. Monitor surface water, wells, pipelines, and groundwater — and control pumps — through one open platform that talks to SCADA, Modbus, PLCs, and more.
Surface water is shaped by weather, pollution, agriculture, and land use, which increasingly demands continuous monitoring. Ranch Systems telemetry performs hydrological and water-quality monitoring of fresh water — still water like lakes, reservoirs, and ponds, as well as the running water of streams and rivers.
We integrate a wide range of sensors: multi-parameter sondes, submersible and radar level, and bubblers, plus a full range of adjunct weather stations. Systems can support flood-warning and stormwater applications.
The same experience that helped large farms manage irrigation now helps agencies manage infrastructure. Remotely and continuously monitor tanks, ponds, reservoirs, and wells; track pipeline pressure and flow; and monitor and control pump stations. Modbus-compatible and SCADA-friendly, with open architecture that fits your existing systems.
Significant experience monitoring both water-supply wells and groundwater monitoring wells. Track level with submersible or ultrasonic sensors and discharge through any pulse-output flow meter. Our pump-control expertise extends to electric motors, VFDs (Yaskawa, Danfoss, Franklin Electric, and more), and even diesel engines with Modbus controllers, and a wide range of water-quality sensors can be applied.
Advanced decision support built into the online application. Alerting is quick to set up yet can be triggered by any sensor — or "virtual" sensor data based on multiple inputs and algorithms. Custom reports generate and deliver automatically, data exports easily, and customizable dashboards with widgets surface exactly what an operation needs to act on.
Also available for agencies
Hundreds of installs of experience, compatible with the sensors found across the market and installed to give accurate, meaningful data. View it with best-in-class stacked graphs featuring color banding and annotation, plus year-over-year comparison. Stations expand easily with weather sensors.
Open architecture lets agencies configure stations to their requirements and budget — from a basic station with telemetry to a meteorological-grade build. Augment any existing station with weather sensors, and import or export data from sources like CIMIS or Weather Underground.
Common Questions
Alongside it. The platform is Modbus-compatible and SCADA-friendly with an open architecture built to fit existing systems, rather than a closed replacement — pipeline pressure/flow, tank and well levels, and pump-station monitoring and control integrate into whatever infrastructure is already in place.
Yes. Streams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and ponds are covered on the surface-water side, and supply or monitoring wells on the groundwater side — both land in the same dashboard, alongside pipeline, tank, and pump-station data.
Yes. Pump-station monitoring and control is built in, and groundwater pump control extends to electric motors, VFDs (Yaskawa, Danfoss, Franklin Electric, and more), and diesel engines with Modbus controllers.

Custom reports generate and deliver automatically by email, data exports easily, and customizable dashboards surface exactly what an operation needs to act on — decision support is built into the same application used for day-to-day monitoring, not a separate manual process.
Both. It's the same telemetry platform that's helped large farms manage irrigation for two decades, now applied to agencies and infrastructure — the underlying hardware and software are shared across both.
