SIM Water Ledger

Public water accounting for Arizona's next operating model.

Arizona water is usually discussed as volume. SIM Water Ledger treats it as an operating resource with source, location, reliability, storage status, delivery burden, energy cost, and field-level usability.

Prototype Records

6

Representative records show how public water data, scenario rows, and incomplete records will be normalized before live imports.

Public Sources

10

ADWR, CAP, Reclamation, and related public-data anchors are tracked with source notes and import status.

Core Rule

4

Every record is labeled as observed public data, calculated estimate, user scenario, or incomplete record.

Arizona Water Ledger

Search public water records by source, legal class, storage status, and delivery constraint.

These are prototype rows. They are structured to match the future public-data import model and keep facts, calculations, and scenario assumptions visibly separated.

Source Record Location Status Volume Confidence

Nano Flow Opportunity Layer

Connect public water constraints to field-level hydraulic demand.

The opportunity engine identifies where water is legally constrained, physically constrained, hydraulically expensive, or operationally mismatched with conventional irrigation demand.

Public Metrics

Research-Grounded Model

Use USDA, Reclamation, ADWR, UA, and USGS anchors to convert public records into hydraulic burden, field usability, and pilot-priority scores.

Open Research Model
Pilot Prioritization

Public Water Stress to Pilot Site

Rank candidate regions using groundwater pumping burden, CAP exposure, agricultural demand, recharge proximity, district relevance, specialty crop fit, and public data confidence.

Stored Water

LTSC-to-Farm Usability

Model how stored or recovered water changes when the receiving irrigation system can operate slowly, continuously, and with storage buffering.

Validation

Lower Colorado River Corridor

Frame Nano Flow pilot measurement where public accounting already tracks diversions, returns, consumptive use, ET, and acreage.

Positioning

Water scarcity is not only a supply problem. It is a usability problem.

Acre-feet become useful only when they can be stored, moved, recovered, pressurized, delivered, and applied at a rate the receiving system can actually use.

Public-data boundaries

  • This platform does not create water rights, authorize transfers, or determine ownership.
  • Public records are separated from calculated estimates and user scenario assumptions.
  • Legal status, recovery feasibility, and delivery agreements require qualified review.
