Our Recommendations for Using the Water District Layer

Try using the Water Districts layer with other AcreValue tools, such as:

• Land Cover Maps: Pairing the water districts layer with land cover maps helps agricultural professionals understand water availability and crop types in the district, enabling better decisions about which crops are suitable based on water resources.
• Soil Productivity Maps: By combining the water district layer with soil productivity maps, users can assess whether high-productivity soils are in areas with adequate water infrastructure, making it easier to pinpoint high-potential agricultural investments.
• Absentee landowner filter: For users involved in marketing or land development, combining the water district layer with the absentee landowner filter helps target specific landowners within key water districts, which can be useful for outreach and sales efforts.
