Water scarcity and rising costs are reality for North American farms. Municipal water gets expensive, wells have limited flow rates, and irrigation demands often exceed what sources can supply during peak periods. Water storage solves these challenges. Silos capture free rainwater from greenhouse gutters—water that would otherwise drain away—turning it into a valuable resource. For operations with wells, storage allows wells to run continuously, filling a buffer large enough to irrigate an entire farm for a day while the well slowly recharges. Existing pond storage becomes more effective with covers that block light and heat, dramatically reducing algae growth. Even the dirtiest ponds can see substantial recovery within a month during the hottest time of year when covered properly. The result: controlled, reliable water supply that reduces dependence on expensive or limited sources.
