Farm irrigation water-risk

Expansion · agricultural water-risk report for a parcel

Same engine as the hotel feasibility report, aimed at growers, co-ops, and agri-lenders: estimates a parcel's seasonal irrigation demand from published FAO crop coefficients and cross-references it against the same verified drought / irrigation-restriction record. No DEYA relationship required.
