Canal company software
The working details.
What makes canal company software different from generic water software?
A mutual canal or ditch company may allocate water by shares and deliver through a network of laterals and turnouts. Loamio keeps patron shares and network records in the same system.
How does Loamio handle shares?
Each patron's shares are kept in an append-only shares ledger: issuance, transfers, revocation, adjustments and opening balances. In a dry year, a curtailment cap set in acre-feet per share limits each patron to their shares times that figure.
Can Loamio model our laterals and turnouts?
Yes. The network inventory records laterals (including laterals under a main canal), headgates and turnouts, and they are drawn on the district map. Loamio builds the system schematic from the same network, with no separate diagram to maintain.
How does a curtailment cut work in a dry year?
Set the period's curtailment cap as a percent of normal or in acre-feet per share, and the same rule applies to every patron. Publishing records who published it and when and locks it. Every patron with an allocation is placed in OK, Near or Over, and the impact table can be downloaded as a CSV.
Do we pay per patron?
No. Pricing is flat: $99.00/month for Lateral and $299.00/month for District, with no per-patron or per-user charges and no setup fee.
