The BD Water Approach to
Irrigation Projects
Planning an irrigation project, whether for a small hobby farm or a large commercial site, requires careful thought, expert design, and reliable implementation.
When we take on an irrigation project, our goal is to deliver a system that works for you, not the other way around. We listen closely to your needs, ask the right questions, and consider everything from water sources and terrain to the type of crops or specific use you have. Every irrigation project is unique, and we take pride in delivering solutions tailored to your specific situation.
Building irrigation projects that last
A good irrigation system should ensure that your plants get the right amount of hydration without over-watering.
Good planning makes or breaks a project
We use this information to create a full-coverage custom irrigation plan that aligns with your goals, budget, and environmental concerns, and eliminates any potential dry patches.
It all comes down to the installation
Whether you're installing a brand-new system or upgrading an existing one, we make sure the project is completed on time, within budget, and to your satisfaction.
After the irrigation install
We’re also available for any questions or concerns you might have down the line. And if your system needs adjustments or upgrades in the future, we’re here to help you maintain the system and adapt your irrigation setup to meet evolving needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
When should I water?
You should set your system to water on your scheduled days. The optimum watering time is in the early morning. This allows the water to reach the roots without being evaporated or blown away. It’s also effective in preventing fungus or disease that is often caused by water sitting overnight on plants.
Do I need to apply for any licences?
We recommend you contact us directly so we can provide advice specific to your situation.
In general, most commercial or large properties in proclaimed areas (from the Hills line to the Coast) need a licence to drill and utilise the bore. If you are doing any of the following you’ll most likely need a groundwater licence to take water:
- Irrigating more than 1/2 an acre (2,000 square meters)
- Using the bore for commercial activity (feedlots, agriculture, construction, etc)
- Looking to utilise an aquifer deeper than the Superficial aquifer (bores generally deeper than 30 metres)
Another type of licence is a 26D licence to drill a borehole, which you need in case you are:
- Using the bore for commercial activity
- Looking to drill into a confined or semi-confined aquifer (bores generally deeper than 60 metres)
To ensure you are compliant with the legislation applicable to you, contact us so we can assess your property and give you specific advice for your situation.
How do you connect the new bore to my existing system?
We disconnect the existing system from the mains or previous water supply, and simply change its water source to the new bore, connected by the piping system. The controller can be rewired to the new box. This is a simple turn-key solution that we carry out in most integration systems.
How much is a consultation and quote?
Most of our consultations and quotes are free of charge. We conduct consultation with you, generally on site, to get to know you and understand your water needs, then provide a free quote.
In some cases, specialised research, testing or designing is required before we can provide a formal quote for the works. This includes bore drilling consultations and irrigation where a large system design is required. In these cases, we will discuss the costs of these services before doing anything, and if you’d like to go ahead, we can help you get a comprehensive solution, tailored to your needs.
