Irrigation Monitoring and Control Systems

GDS provides irrigation monitoring and control systems to municipalities, commercial farms, and landscape operators across the Southwest and beyond. Our systems help customers manage water use, reduce operating costs, and conserve water.

Central Irrigation Control
Our wireless SCADA systems combine real-time monitoring, adjustable control programs, and reporting. Our irrigation controls work includes reviewing Motorola Irrinet ACE installations and planning field hardware and SCADA changes around the existing network.

Monitoring and Control Functions

  • Reduce water use and utility expenses through scheduling and leak detection.
  • Alerts for mainline breaches, valve malfunctions, and abnormal flow rates help reduce downtime and water loss.
  • Generate customizable reports (hourly, daily, monthly, or annual) to track usage trends, comply with regulations, and drive informed decisions.

Operators can compare flow readings with irrigation schedules and review valve or mainline alarms before deciding whether to adjust a program or send a maintenance crew. Training covers the installed controls and alarm response, while field support addresses instruments, communications, and equipment that need attention.

Irrigation SCADA FAQs

Do you support Motorola Irrinet ACE deployments?

We review the installed Irrinet ACE configuration, software and communications before defining support or upgrade work. Include controller model numbers and available backups with your request.

Can you integrate irrigation SCADA with existing PLC/RTU assets?

We connect legacy and modern PLC/RTU hardware to centralized dashboards with standardized reporting and alarms.

Do you offer long-term support for irrigation control systems?

We provide training, maintenance, and field support to keep irrigation operations reliable year-round.
