Water Silos:
Many farms in North America are experiencing water shortages and rising water costs. As a grower than you realize that water is a top priority for your growing company. There are many ways to solve this problem. You could drill another well, dig a pond, or purchase water from your municipality. Water silos are a cost effective way to store water! On many farms growers may have 3 - 4 or more wells on site, none of which produce large quantities of water. A water silo allows those wells to run continuously and fill a water buffer large enough to store plenty of water to irrigate your entire farm for a day or more in a reasonable watering schedule.
Other farms with gutter- connect greenhouses have a simple way to collect rain- water yet usually waste it away. Rain-water is perhaps the best quality of water at the cheapest price. With a little bit of pipe and a water silo you could turn this free resource into a valuable advantage on your farm.
Once your water is stored, you have control over your irrigation. You now have a volume that you can control on your own terms. Water silos come in many sizes (over a hundred). When inquiring on a silo the following information will be required:
- How many Gallons (litres) would you like to store?
- Is the silo going inside or outside?
- How much usable space do you have? Height and width.
- Suction from over top of the silo or from underneath (flooded suction)?
- Will you need an overflow?
