Farm visit
We look at your crops, land, layout and existing water source.
Water Systems
Irrigation designed around your water.
Water is only useful on a farm if it reaches the crops efficiently. We design and install irrigation systems that fit your borehole's yield, your land and what you grow, so you can farm through the dry season.
What we do
- Irrigation design matched to borehole yield and crop needs
- Drip and sprinkler systems
- Solar-powered pumping to reduce running costs
- Storage, piping and control installation
- New farm boreholes and pump sizing where the water supply is not yet in place
- Handover with guidance on operating and maintaining the system
When irrigation pays off
- Crops suffer or stop growing in the dry season
- Workers spend hours watering by hand or hose
- Fuel costs for pumping are eating into your margins
- You are expanding the planted area and need water to follow
- You want to grow year-round
How it works
One accountable team from the first call to the day the water flows, and after.
Water check
We assess your borehole's yield, or survey and drill a new one if needed.
Design
We design drip or sprinkler lines, storage and pumping, including solar, matched to the water you have.
Install and train
We install the system and show your team how to run and maintain it.
Why farms work with Onyx
We have drilled 289+ agricultural boreholes, so we understand how water supply and farm demand have to work together. One team handles the borehole, the pump, the storage and the irrigation, so nothing is designed in isolation and you have one number to call.

Frequently asked questions
Drip or sprinkler irrigation?
Drip suits rows and higher-value crops and saves water. Sprinklers cover wider areas. The right choice depends on your crop, land and water supply.
Can my borehole supply enough water?
That depends on its yield. We assess the borehole first, and storage tanks can help balance supply and demand.
Can the system run on solar power?
Yes. Irrigation water is usually needed in the daytime, so solar pumping suits it well and can reduce running costs.
How much land can one borehole irrigate?
There is no fixed figure. It depends on borehole yield, what you grow, local conditions and how efficient the system is. We design to your numbers.
Do you also drill the borehole for the farm?
Yes. We can survey, drill and equip a new borehole, then design the irrigation around it, so everything is sized together.
What maintenance does an irrigation system need?
Clean the filters, check for leaks and blocked emitters, and inspect the pump. We give you simple guidance at handover.
