Profile

Cadiz Inc.CDZIUtilities

Sells water-filtration systems and develops water supply, storage, and pipeline conveyance tied to Cadiz Ranch. Revenue today comes mainly from Water Filtration Technology, while the larger project story depends on approvals, financing, construction, and long-term water agreements.

Builds around a Southern California asset base of Mojave Desert land, groundwater rights, water supply, storage, and pipeline conveyance. Land and Water Resources holds the Cadiz Ranch properties, the Mojave Groundwater Bank, agricultural operations, and the Northern and Southern Pipeline routes.

Adds Water Filtration Technology through ATEC, which supplies filtration systems to public water systems, government agencies, and commercial customers. Current revenue is mostly filtration, while the larger strategic value sits in converting permitted water, storage, and buried pipeline into regional infrastructure.

Execution centers on public-agency partnerships, project-company financing, pipeline conversion, and construction sequencing. Water agreements remain subject to regulatory conditions, permits, litigation exposure, technical work, and completion of off-take and exchange agreements.
