Solution 06
Produce more with less water.
Water availability is one of the strongest constraints on African horticulture. Treating water as an engineered resource — captured, stored, treated, applied precisely and where possible recovered — is central to project viability.
Water & Resource Management
What this includes
Water efficiency, recycling, filtration, storage, rainwater collection, irrigation optimisation and monitoring.
- Water balance and demand assessment
- Storage and reservoir planning
- Rainwater harvesting
- Filtration and treatment
- Drain water recovery and recycling
- Irrigation efficiency optimisation
- Nutrient recovery where feasible
- Water use monitoring and reporting
Engineering considerations
How we approach it
Water first, structure second
A project's water strategy should be resolved before greenhouse area and crop plan are fixed.
Seasonality
Storage sizing is driven by dry-season demand, not annual averages.
Measured performance
Water use per kilogram produced is a practical efficiency indicator to track from commissioning onward.
