Stormwater management can effectively eradicate the harmful effects of pollutants and prevent flood damage.
Stormwater run-off from precipitation such as snow and rain can pollute waterways and crops, cause erosion of agricultural land as well as flooding. Stormwater management is a solution to the risk of pollution.
The increase in roads and buildings in rural areas has increased the peak flow rates and the volume of stormwater which increases flooding and stream erosion. This is due to the increase of impermeable surfaces from roads, buildings, and strained sewage systems.
Stormwater management is essential to prevent stormwater collecting pollutants from pesticides animal waste, oil, grease or sewage and polluting rivers, streams, livestock’s water supply etc.
The stormwater if collected and protected from collecting pollutants can provide an additional water supply to use on the farm. Water treatment can be integrated into the stormwater management system to enable the water supply to be used for drinking water for livestock.
Stormwater management minimises health risks and reduces the risk of flooding and erosion, so contributes to community safety and financial risk management.
Typical farm water usage
Sprinklers – 180 gallons an hour
Cattle – 10 – 20 gallons per day
Dairy Cows – 30 – 40 gallons per day
Sheep & pigs – 1 – 2 gallons a day
1 – 2 taps running on low pressure of 20 psi – 600 gallons an hour
UK Grants available – The Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA)
First-year allowances for water efficient technologies
Stormwater management is part of SUDS
Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems
Which includes using porous surface materials for drives, schools and public facilities and parks, allowing stormwater drainage. This also goes towards lowering the peak flow of surface water after a storm by lessening impermeable surfaces and increasing drainage.
Stormwater Management is part of Breeam
BREEAM is about using sustainable materials, low impact design and carbon emissions reduction; design durability and resilience; adaption to climate change; and ecological value and biodiversity protection.
Agrismart offers water management tailored to your unique needs.
Water supply is becoming one of the major costs to industry, both at farm level such as dairy, arable, sheep, poultry farming and in affiliated sectors, processing, manufacturing, horticulture, equine and leisure diversification such as golf courses and caravan parks.
Agrismart provides complete water sytems including automated water treatment in a secure box. Our renewable energy pumps are available with a range of power supplies including 12v up to 3 Phase.
Our water solution includes full instalation and all of the water that’s collected from the renewable energy water pumps are stored in bladder tanks where it is treated with our chlorine dioxide water treatment to clean the water supply before it reaches the livestock.
Providing your agricultural business with a complete water solution and alternative to mains water.
Our aim is to identify high water users and present them with a solution that costs less than their annual water bill providing free water for their business with an ROI in under 24 months.
Water Management Goals
To reduce your water bills by at least 75%
To provide you with a zero energy system that will have paid for itself in under 24 months with no ongoing running costs
Water Management
We have a dedicated team of agricultural water management technicians who specialise in the collection and storage of water on your farm. In the UK it rains and when it doesn’t it pours. This water is often wasted and a completely untapped resource. Harvesting this rainwater is a great way to provide your business with an additional water source that falls free from the sky.
