Water plays a critical role in successful crop production. From irrigating fields and managing runoff to supporting soil health and reducing drought risk, arable farms rely on water at every stage of the growing cycle. Castle Water works with farmers across the UK to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and ensure regulatory compliance, without disrupting operations. 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.
We offer tailored guidance to help crop growers optimise water use across irrigation, spraying, and washdown systems. Our team understands the challenges of operating in rural areas and supports you in making informed, efficient water management decisions.
With increasing pressure on margins and climate-driven water scarcity, arable farms can’t afford to waste water. We help you identify inefficiencies, implement water-saving strategies, and lower your overall usage and cost.
Whether you use overhead, drip, or boom irrigation, we offer support in reviewing and improving your systems. We also help you explore alternative supply options and assess opportunities for water recycling and rainwater harvesting.
Agricultural runoff and crop-washing effluent must be managed responsibly to protect local watercourses and meet compliance obligations. We provide advice on how to minimise risk and manage discharge safely and legally.
From smart irrigation to drought resilience, we help farms align with sustainable agricultural practices. Our support helps future-proof your business and demonstrates your commitment to environmental stewardship.
Water is vital for every stage of crop production, from seedbed preparation and irrigation to spraying, washing, and runoff management. With increasing pressures on cost and environmental responsibility, making your water use more efficient is essential for sustainable, productive farming.
Castle Water supports crop and arable farms across the UK with practical advice and support on water management. From helping you understand your usage patterns to recommending tailored solutions, our team is here to help you improve efficiency, lower costs, and operate more sustainably – without disrupting your day-to-day farm operations.
From usage reviews to regulatory advice, we provide services designed to help crop growers take control of their water management:
Crop farms must manage sediment, nutrients, and chemical runoff responsibly. We help you understand your obligations and adopt practical solutions to stay compliant.
We support the use of rainwater harvesting, greywater reuse, and other strategies to reduce dependency on mains supply and build resilience against drought.
Our reporting helps you meet environmental targets and prepare for audits, supply chain requests, and sustainability certification schemes.
We help you track your consumption across irrigation, spraying, and general operations to help identify areas for improvement.
Unnoticed leaks in long-distance pipework can waste thousands of litres. We help you assess your systems and reduce unnecessary loss.
We offer expert advice on optimising your irrigation setup, from scheduling to the benefits of drip systems and moisture monitoring technology.

Trade effluent from arable farms can include wash water from produce handling and runoff from spraying or irrigation. Managing this waste properly is essential to protect watercourses and stay compliant with local regulations.
Castle Water helps arable farms understand their trade effluent responsibilities and adopt practical approaches to reduce discharge volumes, manage contaminants, and apply for any necessary discharge consent.
Castle Water is trusted by crop growers across the UK for reliable water services, transparent billing, and expert support tailored to agricultural businesses. With more five-star reviews than any other supplier, we’re a dependable partner for farms that want to improve efficiency and sustainability.
Our data-led approach helps you monitor water use, reduce waste, and build long-term resilience, without adding complexity to your daily operations.
Using precision irrigation, scheduling water at optimal growth stages, and using moisture sensors can maintain or improve yield while using less water.
Drip irrigation is highly efficient for many crops, though suitability depends on soil, crop type, and scale. We can advise on what works best for your setup.
Yes, harvested rainwater can be a valuable supplementary source for irrigation or machinery cleaning. We can help you explore storage and filtration options.
Yes, if water used in processing or washing crops is discharged to sewer or off-site systems. We can guide you through consent applications and compliance.
We offer tailored advice to help you reduce water consumption, manage runoff responsibly, and align with environmental best practices, supporting both compliance and long-term resilience.
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.
