Accuracy over speed.
A plan that takes 35 minutes and works beats a 3-minute plan that needs a rewrite. AI generators give you speed — we give you a drawing that will not drown your trees.

About
SmartPluvia.
We are a small team building an engineering tool for irrigation design. Not an AI startup, not a marketplace — just a careful, opinionated planner for people who care about the details.

MANIFESTO · 04 PRINCIPLES
Four things we believe in.
The catalog is the foundation.
4 brands, 202 models, updated weekly. Without accurate specs for every head, any simulation is just fantasy.
Engineering, not magic.
Every number in the drawing has a formula behind it — Penman-Monteith for ETo, Christiansen for CU, Hazen-Williams for pressure. No AI recommendations without a calculation.
Your data stays yours.
Export at any time: PDF, CSV, DXF, JSON. No vendor lock-in. Stop paying and you still get a complete archive within 24 hours.
