- Irrigated pasture. Dragline, semi-permanent sprinklers or a small pivot for dairy and sheep grazing. See Pasture Irrigation.
- Borehole supply. Pumps and pipes to bring borehole water to irrigation blocks or storage. See Irrigation Pump Installation.
- Sprinkler layouts. Moving from hand-moved pipes to semi-permanent or permanent sprinklers that need less labour.
Points Contractors Assess in Caledon
- Limited water. Many farms have only a farm dam or borehole, so the irrigated area is sized to the reliable yield, not the land available.
- Water quality. Some groundwater in the area can be brackish. A water test before design avoids choosing the wrong emitters or crops.
- Wind. Exposed fields affect sprinkler spacing and the best times to irrigate.
- Paddock layout. Pasture systems are designed around the grazing rotation and fences.
Quote Requests From Caledon
Give the borehole or dam yield if you know it, along with the paddock sizes. Contractors usually recommend a water test first when the source has not been used for irrigation before.

Agricultural Irrigation Caledon FAQs
What pasture system suits a small dairy?
Dragline and semi-permanent sprinklers are common on smaller areas. A pivot can make sense on a larger, regular field if water allows.
How do I know if my borehole can supply irrigation?
A yield test shows how much it can deliver over time. Contractors size the pump and irrigated area from that figure.
Is brackish water a problem for irrigation?
It can be, depending on salt levels and the crop. Test the water before investing so the system and crop choice suit it.
