Cadiz Inc. CDZI

Company Overview

Cadiz Inc. is a U.S.-based land and water resource development company focused on water supply, water storage, groundwater management, and agricultural operations in the arid Southwestern United States. The company operates primarily in the environmental infrastructure and agricultural sectors, with its core activities centered on developing groundwater resources, water conveyance systems, and sustainable farming operations. Cadiz is best known for its ownership of substantial land and groundwater assets in California’s Mojave Desert and for pursuing long-term water supply and storage projects intended to serve municipalities, water districts, and industrial users across Southern California and neighboring regions.

The company’s principal revenue drivers historically have included agricultural operations, land and water asset management, and infrastructure-related development initiatives. Cadiz has positioned itself as a long-duration water infrastructure developer with strategic control over large-scale landholdings and groundwater basins connected to existing regional transportation and pipeline corridors. Founded in 1983, the company evolved from a land and agricultural enterprise into a water resource infrastructure company, emphasizing groundwater banking, conservation, and water conveyance projects amid increasing water scarcity pressures in the American Southwest.
