Practical borehole, irrigation, and water-use guides.
Understand the measurements, product checks, and questions to take to a qualified local provider.
Borehole planning checklist for South African properties
A borehole decision starts with the intended use and the property, then moves through geology, drilling, yield, water quality, pumping, storage, and authorisation. Treat the borehole as one part of a complete water system.
Read guideQuestions to ask before sizing an irrigation system
Irrigation sizing depends on area, plants or crops, soil, slope, pressure, water source, storage, filtration, weather, and maintenance. A product list is not a system design.
Read guideBorehole water-use authorisation questions to ask
The technical question is whether water can be accessed. The regulatory question is whether the intended use is permitted, registered, or authorised for that property, source, and volume. Keep those questions separate before spending on equipment.

Borehole water quality is a measured property of a source and its intended use, not something that can be judged by appearance. Use a test report to decide what treatment, storage, plumbing, and maintenance questions need professional attention.
Read guideQuestions to ask before buying a borehole pump in South Africa
A borehole pump is selected for a measured system duty, not only for the depth of the hole or the number printed on a product page. Collect the source, demand, pressure, electrical, storage, and maintenance facts before comparing equipment.
Read guideDrip irrigation or sprinklers: what should a property compare?
Irrigation choice depends on plants, soil, slope, wind, water quality, pressure, access, maintenance, and the person who will operate the system. Compare the application pattern and the whole system, not only the emitter or sprinkler price.
