Watervize was founded in Yuma, Arizona in 2018 by Jack Linke, with the goal of providing enterprise-level seftware tools to small and medium-size irrigation districts who otherwise would not have access to powerful district and water management software.

Jack Linke started Watervize in 2018 while still on active duty as a military warrant officer and project officer. He was able to bring his leadership and project management experience into the development and daily operation of Watervize.

With over 22 years of software programming experience, he has worked in a number of programming languages includine PERL, PHP, Javascript, C, Pascal, and Python. Jack also has experience with database management, internet technologies, DevOps, and other technological interests, putting Watervize’s development on solid footing.

Jack currently lives in Stafford, Virginia, serving his nation in the national capitol region while also providing direction and leadership in the development of watervize.

Jack can be reached via email at jack@watervize.com

We help irrigation districts meet these challenges by making enterprise-quality software tools available to anyone in irrigation.

One of the many charts and reports in Watervize showing peak water usage by canal each day over a month-long period.

Calendar view showing filterable display of all water orders within the district each month. Configurable colors denote order status.

GIS and Flow Network tools within Watervize make it easy to visualize the district structure, daily flows, and other information.

We work with Irrigation Districts to configure Watervize to meet their business rules and standard operating procedures.

Water orders can be placed by district personnel, or by the water user. Irrigation gates are prefiltered for the water user, simplifying their data entry.

All water orders within the district can be listed, filtered, and exported.
