Getting the right source of water for your farm by Larwin(m): 8:06pm On Oct 02, 2017
As a farmer, you need a long term plan for steady water supply. Depending on stream or well water might be risky because water from these sources might be seasonal.

Here are shots from a geophysical investigation carried out on a farm at Òwú zone Odeda L.G.A Ogun State.

Water, as simple as it is could ruin most people's dream of making it big in Agriculture. Without talking much, I will highlight various sources of water you can depend on for your Agricultural business.

Agriculture, I hope you know I doesn't limit to crop farming, fishery, animal husbandry, poultry. The success of any one of it you are venturing into depends on your accessibility to potable water.
This is where selection of land comes in. You can't possibly want to venture into fishery and select a site around ojodu, arepo, isheri north in Ogun state. Water from this areas, be it borehole or well are highly contaminated and you might have to budget some million naira for reverse osmosis.

Without talking much, here are some possibly source of water you could rely on for your agric business.
1. Rainfall- Depending on what you intend to do, this source could be readily available for you at no cost. The set back depending on this source is that your business will have to be seasonal and you might be limited in your operation and diversification.

2. Stream/River-This source too could be readily available to you at no extra cost depending on your farm location. But be ready to save some money for mud pump/surface pump. This source too could be seasonal thereby dictating your production. In this era of global warming, you should know its availability can't be predictable.

3. Well- This source is very economical, it's advisable in a plan where funding needs to be constraint. It is not easily affected by season depending on local settings though this is unpredictable in a situation where we have global warming. It is sometimes affected by the environment thereby making it easily contaminated. Serious water analysis needs to be done to ensure its ok for use.

4. Borehole- Though expensive, the benefits of having a borehole or more on your farm is immeasurable. You won't have to worry about quality depending on area though. Your farm workers will have potable water available anytime, thereby aiding there output. Your operation will not have to depend on season. You definitely know the rest.

My advice for farmer is to always try to have at least a borehole on their farm.

My simple advise to prospecting farmers...always endeavor to check for the ground potential of the land you are planning to buy for your farming business.

You can imagine buying an acre of land at the rate between 200k -300k only getting to know later that drilling for a single borehole could cost you close to #2m. whereas in some areas, you can actually get your borehole drilled at around 150k, some 400k. The variation is not predictable so try to do your underground work first on the ground water potential.

Cheers

Hello

We need to change that pump asap. I have a new pump to replace the one you supplied. That your pump is not strong enough to pump out water from 330 feet hole. That pump getting tired too quickly.

When can we get this done. I promised to pay you to replace it last time. So you are not doing this for free.

You have to be sure of date. You know you don't keep your word. If you choose a date and not show up, that is a problem for me. The plumber and contractor need to be on site on the day you're coming there. Getting those people to come there and you don't show up won't be a good idea.

The house is set and needs water.
