Soil Physics
Capillary movement, oxygen exchange, infiltration limits, and why irrigation intensity changes root-zone behavior.
Toolkit concepts
Academy
A lightweight learning system for the framework.
Keep the Academy focused on execution: theory, design, field validation, reporting, and handoff. The Toolkit gives each module its working calculator, field sheet, and water-accounting references.
Low-Pressure Hydraulics
Flow, pressure, head, emitter behavior, and what changes when the design target is continuous low-volume release.
Conversion calculatorReservoir Systems
IBC tote logic, intermediate storage, refill cycles, and infrastructure decoupling in practical terms.
Field sheetInfrastructure Design
Pump class shifts, mainline implications, filtration simplification, and the logic of peak-demand collapse.
Model demand collapseField Validation
What to instrument, how to communicate pilot results, and how to convert field signals into credible design language.
Reporting contextWHEN: From Irrigation Events to Operating Bands
SIM is not simply "less water." It is a different irrigation cadence that measures whether the rootzone can remain inside a stable operating condition.

If you want early access as modules go live, reach out with your role, region, and why you want to pressure test the framework.
Optional signupFrom depletion/refill cycle to measured operating band.
- Field capacity, permanent wilting point, and plant available water.
- Management Allowable Depletion and why vegetables are usually managed tighter than row crops.
- Soil tension and tensiometers.
- Why visual stress is late evidence.
- SIM operating band: measuring stability instead of guessing runtime.
