Agriculture & Irrigation

Irrigation that survives the dry season.

A crop cannot wait for a municipal connection. We build boreholes and pumping systems that keep water flowing through peak irrigation demand — sized for the worst month of the year, not the average.

The situation

Why this goes wrong for agriculture.

Irrigation demand is at its highest exactly when supply is at its lowest. A borehole sized for an annual average will fail every January. And on many farms there is no grid connection to fall back on, so the whole season depends on one pump working.

How we approach it

  1. 01

    A yield test that establishes the sustainable abstraction rate before anything is ordered.

  2. 02

    A pumping system designed for peak-season draw, with a margin built into the design.

  3. 03

    Solar drive where the grid is unreliable — near-zero operating cost over a 25-year panel life.

  4. 04

    Storage sized for a full irrigation cycle plus a reserve, so a pump fault does not cost a planting.

  5. 05

    Distribution designed around the field layout, not around the borehole.

All frequently asked questions

That depends on crop, area, soil and the irrigation method — drip uses a fraction of the water that flood or pivot does. Send us your hectares and crop type and we will model the requirement before quoting.

On most farms, yes. Grid tariffs escalate, load shedding is unpredictable and diesel is expensive to run. A correctly sized solar system removes all three and pays back on operating cost alone.

We test before we size, so underperformance should be a design correction rather than a surprise. Every quotation states what happens if the confirmed yield differs from the survey prediction.
