Fallowed Land Registry

Growers who enroll in the Registry would receive the following benefits:

1. For parcels located within the area subject to the Agricultural Offset Ordinance, exemption from the Agricultural Offset Ordinance five (5) year lookback;
2. For parcels in a Williamson Act contract, exemption from Williamson Act contract irrigation requirements;
3. For all parcels within the Basin and additional area subject to the Agricultural Offset Ordinance, access to farming unit-specific satellite-based ET data to inform fallowing decision-making and a mechanism to formally document water use (or lack thereof); and
4. For parcels located within the area subject to the Agricultural Offset Ordinance, self-certified maintenance of neutral water use per farming unit, subject to verification using satellite-based ET data, rather than having to apply for an Agricultural Offset Clearance from the Department of Planning & Building when replanting.

No. Individual enrollee information is private and proprietary. Public access includes only basin-scale statistics and generalized information. Enrollees can only access their own farming unit data through secure authenticated accounts. The platform maintains strict privacy protections to ensure user data separation.

Public users can access basin-scale statistics and generalized information including monthly ET (evapotranspiration) data (total and net), monthly precipitation, crop mapping and crop type information, and comprehensive GIS layers. Individual enrollee data remains private and is not accessible to other users. Groundwater level data will be available in a future release and is not yet accessible to users.
