Water Bore Benefits

Water bore drilling can provide several benefits to landowners and farmers. Bores can provide a reliable source of water for stock, irrigation and domestic use. They can also help improve water quality by providing an alternative water source to surface water sources such as dams and rivers. Bores can additionally help reduce the risk of bushfires by delivering an accessible water source for firefighting purposes.

Solar vs. Electric Pumps

If you’re looking for an electric or solar pump, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind. Here are a few tips to help you choose the right pump for your needs:


  1. Consider the flow rate. This is how much water the pump can move per minute and will be affected by factors such as the size of the pump and the horsepower.
  2. Choose the right power source. If you’re using an electric pump, you’ll need to ensure its correctly wired and grounded. Solar pumps will require a sunny location to work effectively.
  3. Determine the head pressure. This is the amount of pressure the pump can generate and will be vital if you're using it for irrigation or other applications where water needs to be moved uphill.
  4. Consider the warranty. Some pumps come with a longer warranty than others, so it’s worth considering this when making your purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

    The answer to this question is complicated. While bores can be bad for the environment in some ways, they can also be beneficial in others. For example, bores can help aerate soils and improve water infiltration.

    An irrigation bore pump is a type of pump that is used to irrigate land by drawing water from a water source and then pumping it through a pipe to the intended destination.
