Excess water issues? Water Siphon is drainage, redefined.
Water Siphon is the world’s first industrial, siphon-operated groundwater management system.
Literally a force for nature, Water Siphon creates a vacuum inside a drainpipe and allows gravity to efficiently drain large volumes of water from higher to lower locations, by going up and over obstacles of up to 8 metres high.
Unlike traditional drainage options, Water Siphon not only clears surface water but also sucks away water from deep within the soil, significantly lowering groundwater levels in surrounding areas. This creates autumn-like ground conditions and makes the land much more absorbent during rainy seasons, cyclones and flood events. It also maintains moist, aerated root zones to maximise and extend growing seasons.
Water Siphon’s ingenious hydraulic vacuum primer pump doesn’t use any motorised power or spinning parts and it operates silently, making it harmonious with wildlife and aquatic creatures. It’s an efficient, eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for farmers and growers, councils and construction companies alike.
Watch our video below to see how Water Siphon drains a large amount of excess groundwater in a matter of minutes.
Watch how Water Siphon recovered a 30% pasture harvest loss
An agri-tech game-changer, Water Siphon lowered the resting groundwater table at Morelands Farm by 225mm, and the drains by 400mm, in just 4 days. This resulted in the farm being able to recover a 30% pasture harvest loss. Award-winning dairy farmer, Don Watson, shares his experience.
Maximise profitability: reclaim lost winter production, reduce volatility.
- Safeguard your land from flooding by increasing soil rainfall absorption capacity
- Improve your soil aeration and temperatures
- Maintain the soil biome throughout the wet season
- Maximise pasture production and utilisation
- Increase meat and milk yields
- Increase plant growth above and below ground
- Save on supplementary feed by growing more during winter
- Reduce or eliminate pugging and soil compression from heavy machinery
- Extend autumn growing conditions further into the winter, enjoy earlier spring growth
“Water Siphon’s ability to drain water not only from the surface of the land but also from within the soil profile is revolutionary…It works in a highly energy efficient manner and will support pastoral farmers with excess water issues to run more sustainable and economically successful businesses, producing more high quality, nutrient-rich food from their soils.”

How Water Siphon stacks up
Water Siphon offers several advantages over conventional trenched subsoil drainage systems and power-hungry pumps, and dramatically outperforms conventional floodgates.
- Lowers water tables by sucking away water from deep beneath the ground
- Moves water up and over obstacles of up to 8m high
- Easy to operate and maintain
- Virtually zero gradient loss
- Eco-friendly and harmonious with wildlife and aquatic creatures
- Cost-effective, doesn’t have any running costs
- Doesn’t silt up or jamp open like a flood gate
- Scalable – has no diameter or distance limits
