We drive performance-based water management through technology, education, and consulting.
Mammoth Water has led the development and implementation of the world’s most advanced water markets in the world – called smart markets. The rollout of Mammoth Water’s smart markets over 500K irrigated acres has reduced search and transaction costs of water trading for thousands of America’s food producers. We make water trading more affordable, accessible, and equitable.
Mammoth Water also brought to market TAPP H2O, a mobile and web app and cloud-based software that helps growers track their water use relative to their allocations. Our team is passionate about developing trusted technology solutions that help growers achieve regulatory compliance and conservation goals, with experience across the western United States. Mammoth Water is the technology wing for our parent company, ERA Economics.
Why
At Mammoth Water, we’re driven by stewardship, ensuring that our precious water resources are available to support the lives and livelihoods of our children, grandchildren, and generations to come.
What
We build software that helps agricultural producers—the primary stewards of water—track, trade, and report water use efficiently. We further help water managers and corporations manage complex water data, monitor program performance, and boost results.
How
We start with domain expertise in water management and agricultural economics. Next, we add expert listening to understand your specific needs and goals. Then we develop smarter, simpler technology solutions to supercharge your work.
Our cross-functional team delivers smarter, simpler ways to track and trade water.

I’m Austin. I grew up in Colorado, then moved to California in 2015. I like it in San Francisco because it’s usually pretty warm but not too warm where I worry about wearing shorts. I’ve been a developer for 5 years working mostly with frontend web technologies. Surprisingly, I still like to write and talk about software outside of work. I also like design, stand-up comedy, podcasts, personal finance, coffee, and yo-yoing between existential dread and living in the moment.
