Drought-resistant crop solutions for farmers

Being in the agriculture industry means you’re well aware of the negative impacts that poor water quality can have on your crops. This is an important issue that we must try to get rid of as soon as possible, as a poor crop yield can impact your income quite significantly.

But there are various different factors that can influence the quality of water that your agricultural plants receive. Poor crop yields can also be caused by poor water quality or because of a severe drought.

There are many different solutions that you can apply to your agricultural equipment to ensure that it stays clean and that your crops are performing well. We offer a range of different services to help farmers manage their water resources and to ensure that they have access to safe, clean water.

For example, we offer: 

  • Well rehabilitation & maintenance.

  • Water treatment. 

  • Water pump installation & maintenance.

  • Water tank installation & maintenance. 

Well rehabilitation. 

Wells are a useful resource during periods when the rain is not as abundant or when there is a lot of drought. They provide a continuous stream of water that is safe for you to drink. However, they are not completely immune to damage. Bacteria and other contaminants may begin to grow in these wells and cause problems with the water that you drink. This is especially true if you have not used your well for a while.  It will affect crop health quite a lot, and it could cause crops to be ruined because they do not have the nutrients that they need to thrive and grow.

Water treatment. 

Water treatment services work to treat hard water to make it safe for your plants and reduce the risk of them being damaged. Our water treatment systems are designed to clean the water, removing any heavy metals, minerals or other harmful bacteria from the water. We use softeners to remove the minerals which are in water and to soften hard water.

Water pump installation & maintenance.

Installing a water pump on your site can help you ensure that you have enough water during a drought.It is important that you choose the right pump to meet your water needs. It should be able to meet your water needs and be running at its optimal efficiency. This means that you are getting the best value for money possible, without spending a lot of money on unnecessary equipment. A good water pump will also allow you to deliver water efficiently to your customers during large projects you are working on.

Water tank installation & maintenance. 

Water tanks can help you if you are experiencing a period of drought, because they ensure that you have water stored on-site. This means that you are not dependent on rain to keep your crops healthy and thriving.
