# Agricultural Irrigation District

*/CompanyTypes/Agricultural_Irrigation_District*

Key roles: Ditch Rider, Watermaster, Hydrographer, SCADA Technician, Canal Maintenance Operator, Pump Mechanic, Water Accounting Specialist, District Engineer, Vegetation Control Applicator, Heavy Equipment Operator, Reservoir Operator, District Manager. Departments: Water Delivery, Canal & Pipeline Maintenance, Water Rights & Accounting, SCADA & Telemetry, Vegetation Management, Fleet & Heavy Equipment Shop, Pumping Operations, Engineering & Planning.

## Digital Scalar

**Band**: physical
**Digital**: 0.2
**Rationale**: With no child job types seeded, the scalar is derived directly from the company type description. The core operations are heavily physical, driven by roles like Ditch Rider, Canal Maintenance Operator, and Pump Mechanic, alongside departments like Fleet & Heavy Equipment Shop. While SCADA and water accounting provide a digital coordination layer, the primary value delivery is outdoor infrastructure maintenance and physical water movement, placing this composite squarely in the physical band.
