We are an independent, American-owned and operated company based in Colorado building tools to help our customers manage water efficiently and maximize beneficial uses.

Our Mission

At RecordFLOW, our mission is simple: develop low-cost, secure, and easy-to-use tools for managers and users of ditch and canal systems to protect your water rights and operate your systems efficiently. It may sound simple, but finding the right tool is not always easy. 

We are laser focused on developing easy-to-use tools to capture information to protect beneficial water uses, to deliver water more efficiently, and to easily organize long-term records for future generations of water users.

As water managers ourselves, we know what it’s like to operate complex water delivery systems.

RecordFLOW exists to help small water rights owners to large-scale irrigation districts organize data and information, make that information easy to access, and bring clarity to water administration. 

Our History

From our earliest days as a company, we have always been focused on helping ditch and canal companies, water users, and shareholders map their delivery or drainage systems and inventory their assets. 

How We Started
Data for Engineers

Our first projects focused on engineering level ditch and canal surveys using drone photogrammetry and 3D elevation models of ditch and canal systems. 

While this was a good approach for specific engineering projects, it didn’t really accomplish our mission of providing water managers and water users with a platform to document the daily operations of their ditch and canal systems. In most cases, the data we collected was too technical and the “other” software we used was not adequate or user-friendly.

Our New Direction
Better Tools for Water Managers and Water Users

The early projects taught us a valuable lesson; we don’t need to collect the data, we need to build a platform so you can easily connect, collect and control your own data

 And not the overly-technical type of data you use once and then put in a file, but instead the type of data the helps with daily decision making and improves operational efficiency while also collecting and organizing the data necessary for long-term water rights protection.

Our Staff

We are a small, American-owned business with a passion for helping water managers protect water rights and  maximize beneficial uses.
