Lumo, the precision irrigation company that invented the smart irrigation valves, and AvidWater, a statewide full-service irrigation company, have announced a new strategic partnership to bring Lumo’s precision irrigation system and AvidWater’s unparalleled service to more California growers.
The expansion comes on the heels of Lumo’s overwhelming success in Napa and Sonoma. Over 70 vineyards, and 5 of the 10 largest winegrape growers in the US, are already using Lumo smart valves to automate their irrigation and dial in their precision. With 24/7 remote control and block-level visibility into applied water volumes, growers are finally able to reliably verify that their crops are receiving the right amounts of water at the right times.
AvidWater has a proven track record of helping growers adopt and implement leading irrigation technology to improve crop outcomes, reduce waste, and drive efficiency gains. Partnering with Lumo to sell, install, and support their smart-valve system is a logical continuation of that tradition and will strengthen AvidWater’s ability to deliver differentiated value to their customer base.
As the industry continues to face economic headwinds—changing weather patterns, labor shortages, increasing regulatory oversight—the need for cost-effective automation solutions with built-in accountability only continues to grow. This strategic partnership between AvidWater and Lumo will help pave the way forward to a more efficient, more sustainable, and more profitable future for growers.
