Water plays a critical role in successful crop production.

Whether you manage wheat, barley, maize, vegetables, or mixed-use cropping, our business water services are designed to help you save money and protect your resources for the future.

Dairy farms can reuse greywater from parlour washdowns for non-potable tasks like yard flushing or irrigating feed crops, where appropriate and safe. Installing simple filtration or sedimentation systems can make water safe for reuse. Castle Water can advise on practical approaches to water recycling that reduce consumption while meeting hygiene and environmental standards.
Balancing water use between dairy herds and feed crop irrigation requires careful planning, especially during dry periods. Efficient drinkers for cows, timed irrigation systems, and monitoring usage across the farm can help manage demand. We provide data-led insights to help dairy farms prioritise water use where it’s needed most without compromising productivity.
Consumers are increasingly conscious of sustainable production. Dairy farms can demonstrate good water stewardship by adopting efficient practices, reporting on their water use, and working with providers who support responsible water management. Communicating these efforts, through certifications, case studies, or sustainability statements, can strengthen consumer trust and brand value.
