Haystead Integrated Water Science System

Harnessing the Deep Aquifer to Power Sustainable Agriculture

What is Aqua-Tech?

Aqua-Tech is the Haystead Ranchโ€™s advanced water distribution and research infrastructure, designed to move groundwater from the Haystead Deep Aquifer Well Along with captured rain water across the Ranch to support agriculture, storage tanks, and habitat sustainability.

Through a network of permanent water lines, valve diverters, and solar-assisted support stations, Rain water capture, pumps and storage tanks Aqua-Tech delivers controlled water flow to critical locations across the Haystead ecosystem.
