Debt Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 3 – LONG-TERM DEBT The carrying value of the Company's debt, before discount, approximates fair value. The fair value of the Company’s debt (Level 2) is determined based on an estimation of discounted future cash flows of the debt at rates currently quoted or offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by its lenders. At September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the carrying amount of the Company’s outstanding debt is summarized as follows (in thousands):
|  | September 30, 2012 |  |  | December 31, 2011 |

In June 2006, the Company entered into a $36.4 million five year zero coupon senior secured convertible term loan with Peloton Partners LLP (through an affiliate) (“Peloton”) and another lender (the “Term Loan”). On April 16, 2008, the Company was advised that Peloton had assigned its interest in the Term Loan to an affiliate of Lampe Conway & Company LLC (“Lampe Conway”), and Lampe Conway subsequently replaced Peloton as administrative agent of the loan. On June 4, 2009, the Company completed arrangements to amend the Term Loan with Lampe Conway which modified certain of the conversion features and extended the maturity date to June 29, 2013 with interest continuing to accrue at 6% per annum through maturity. Further, the conversion feature was modified to allow up to $4.55 million of principal to be converted into 650,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Common Stock”) at a conversion price of $7 per share, and the remaining principal and interest to be converted into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $35 per share. On October 19, 2010, the Company closed a new $10 million working capital facility with Lampe Conway and other participating lenders (“the Lenders”). Under the terms of the new $10 million facility, the Company drew the first $5 million at closing (“First Tranche”). Also upon closing, the Company was granted the option to draw up to an additional $5 million over the subsequent 12 months (“Second Tranche”). The Company drew a total of $2 million on the Second Tranche prior to its expiration. All interest on outstanding balances accrue at 6%, with no principal or interest payments required before the new facility’s maturity date, consistent with the Company’s existing term loan facility. The First Tranche (including accrued interest) is convertible at any time into the Company’s common stock at a price of $13.50 per share and the Second Tranche (including accrued interest) is convertible into the Company’s common stock at $12.50 per share. Also on October 19, 2010, the Company’s existing debt facility with the Lenders was modified as to certain of its conversion features. $20.62 million of the existing convertible debt was changed to allow for up to $2.5 million of this amount to be converted at any time into the Company’s common stock at the price of $13.50 per share, with the remaining amount becoming non-convertible. On June 30, 2011, $2 million of the $5 million available under the Second Tranche was drawn. As a result of the Second Tranche draw, $4 million of the outstanding loan became convertible into 320,000 shares of Cadiz common stock. Further, approximately $10 million of the loan that was previously convertible into approximately 290,000 shares of Cadiz common stock is no longer convertible. The Term Loan is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company, and contains representations, warranties and covenants that are typical for agreements of this type, including restrictions that would limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, incur liens, pay dividends or make restricted payments, dispose of assets, make investments and merge or consolidate with another person. However, while there are affirmative covenants, there are no financial maintenance covenants and no restrictions on the Company’s ability to issue additional common stock to fund future working capital needs. As a result of the modifications of the convertible debt arrangements in June 2009 and October 2010, the change in conversion value between the original and modified instrument totaling approximately $3.2 million was recorded as additional debt discount with an offsetting amount recorded as additional paid-in capital. Such debt discount is accreted to the redemption value of the instrument over the remaining term of the loan as additional interest expense. In connection with the modification transaction in October 2010, the Company recorded a derivative liability related to the conversion option. The fair value of the derivative liability was marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period and recorded as other income (expense). On July 25, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to the facility eliminating the availability to the Company of the unused $3 million portion of the facility. As a result, the conversion option related to the unused portion of the facility no longer exists and a derivative liability is no longer being recorded. On August 8, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with the existing Lenders providing the Company an option to extend the maturity date of its Term Loan from June 29, 2013, to November 1, 2013. As it is the Company’s intent to refinance the existing debt facility on a long-term basis, the debt continues to be classified as non-current in the consolidated balance sheet. Payments will be due under the Term Loan only to the extent that the Lenders elect not to exercise equity conversion rights prior to the Term Loan’s final maturity date. The Company currently expects to satisfy amounts due under the Term Loan through one or more of (a) equity conversion pursuant to the terms outlined above; (b) construction financing associated with the Water Project; (c) cash generated from further development of the Company’s other properties, such as a mitigation bank; and (d) debt or equity financing in the capital markets. As previously announced by the Company in February 2012, the Company has engaged an investment bank specializing in infrastructure financing to lead the Company through the construction financing process for the Water Project. The Term Loan was further modified on October 30, 2012, in connection with a new $5 million working capital facility (see Note 9 – Subsequent Event).
