DRILLING DEEP TO SECURE A WATER SUPPLY:How a borehole can protect your farm from price rises and supply problems

摘要

Water is an increasingly expensive resource that is easily influenced by infrastructure and climate, often leaving farmers with a costiy, inadequate supply that is restricted in times of good weather.Most agricultural businesses are seeing mains water bills go up. Couple this with water-dependant livestock, irrigation, wash down, sustainability and general agricultural use, and the volumes of water used can significantly accelerate in a short space of time.Borehole water supplies may be the answer to this problem, according to Jonathan Dalton of Dales Water Services, based in Ripon, North Yorkshire.
