Fund a pilot
Help finance measured field validation.
For manufacturers, agencies, investors, and conservation programs.
Participate in field validation
Help build the field evidence for continuous ultra-low-flow irrigation.
Growers, sponsors, researchers, and industry partners can participate in structured field validation of Nano Flow Irrigation.
The value of a pilot is the dataset, not the acreage. Choose the role that matches what you can contribute: funding, a qualified site, technical capability, or commercial interest.
Technical inquiries receive a response within two business days.

Field-validation scales
Choose your path
Every level produces participant-specific field evidence. The planned dripline footprint increases with the technical question - from controlled performance, to field consistency, to commercial-system scalability.
1,000 ftPerformance~0.11–0.67 GPM*
→10,000 ftField consistency~1.1–6.7 GPM*
→75,000 ftCommercial scalability~8.3–50 GPM*
*Illustrative planning envelope using a nominal emitter discharge range of approximately 0.01–0.04 GPH per emitter and 12–18-inch emitter spacing. The displayed range reflects the combined low/high cases across emitter discharge and spacing. Actual flow depends on the selected configuration, operating pressure, site hydraulics, and measured emitter performance.
Sponsorship funds defined field evidence
The scale does not simply buy more dripline. Each step changes the hydraulic complexity, spatial sampling, monitoring architecture, comparison design, and decision the evidence can support.
1,000-ft Benchmark
$15,000+
- One controlled, isolated test zone
- Master flow plus inlet and distal pressure
- Concentrated root-zone monitoring
- Baseline water and soil characterization
- Technical benchmark and proceed-or-reject decision
Planned scale: 1,000 linear feet of Nano Flow Irrigation dripline under the agreed standard scope.
10,000-ft Field Pilot
$30,000+
- Representative field distribution and multiple laterals
- Master flow plus selected zone measurement
- Head, middle, tail, and representative pressure points
- Replicated soil monitoring across field locations
- Field-validation report and expand-or-modify decision
Planned scale: 10,000 linear feet of Nano Flow Irrigation dripline under the agreed standard scope.
75,000-ft Commercial Benchmark
$75,000+
- Multi-zone commercial distribution architecture
- Master and representative zone-level flow
- Distributed pressure, soil, salinity, and durability monitoring
- Filtration loading, pumping demand, maintenance, and operating labor
- Benchmark report plus replication and economic roadmap
Planned scale: 75,000 linear feet at one benchmark site—not multiple complete sites.

One connected evidence chain.
Each workstream supports a decision about water delivery, field performance, maintenance, or commercial replication.

- 02Pressure & flowHydraulics, discharge, and uniformity
- 03Root zoneMoisture or tension by position and depth
- 04SalinityWater chemistry and spatial soil EC
- 05MaintenanceFiltration, restriction, flushing, and durability
- 06Crop & systemOutcomes, energy, labor, sizing, and economics
Where the protocol began
Yuma showed us what the next generation of pilots must measure.
The Yuma Ag Center record is a transparent field-learning sequence—not a claim that the first trial controlled every variable or proved every performance outcome.
What was tested
- Gravity and later pressurized operation
- Surface and buried outlets
- Agricultural water, filtration changes, and fertigation exposure
- Pressure, discharge, soil tension, chemistry, and operating observations
What was observed
- Ultra-low discharge under documented pressure conditions
- Measurable root-zone moisture response during the recorded observation periods
- Operating behavior varied with installation position and pressure
- Water handling, filtration, and pressure remain variables to control and quantify
What remains unresolved
- Long-duration discharge uniformity
- Causes of observed restriction
- Matched buried-versus-surface performance
- Crop-scale water balance, salinity, and full-cycle maintenance
- These are unresolved questions, not adverse findings
What the next pilots control
- Stable inlet and terminal pressure logging
- Matched controls and prespecified criteria
- Baseline and post-treatment water characterization
- Replicated moisture and salinity sampling
