Flood Solutions

If you are dealing with recurring flooding on your land, you are not alone. Heavy rainfall events, rising groundwater levels and poor drainage can quickly turn productive paddocks into unusable ground.

Our advanced flood solutions are designed to help farmers actively manage water, reduce flood risk and improve drainage performance – not just react to flooding after it happens.

With a proven drainage system to prevent flood issues, combined with high-capacity siphoning technology, you can take control of water movement across your property, manage groundwater levels and protect your land’s long-term productivity.

Unlike conventional drainage systems that rely entirely on gravity and outlet levels, the Water Siphon system allows ongoing water movement and active water table management during changing weather conditions and prolonged wet periods.

A New Zealand dairy farm implemented our Water Siphon system across a 12-hectare area experiencing regular flooding and waterlogging issues.

The outcomes demonstrate how effective flood mitigation strategies can directly translate into measurable financial gains, improved pasture performance and increased land productivity.

Measurable outcomes:

• 4 tDM/ha increase in pasture harvest
• 300 kgMS/ha increase in milk solids production
• $2,850 per hectare increase in profitability
• $34,200 additional income per year across 12 hectares

Additional benefits:

• 76% return on investment in the first year
• Recurring continued gains expected in following years
• Positive impact extended beyond the original 12 hectares
• No additional fencing required
• No increase in fertiliser
• No ongoing maintenance required
• Higher returns per hectare helping increase land value

Traditional drainage systems and floodgates often struggle when conditions change quickly. Once floodgates stop working effectively, water levels can remain too high for extended periods.

Our approach focuses on flood mitigation strategies that allow you to actively respond to changing conditions and continue lowering water levels long after passive systems become ineffective.

The system also supports more effective stormwater management by moving excess water away from vulnerable areas before saturation and flooding occur.

What makes this system different:

• Move large volumes of water quickly across long distances
• Manually control water table levels when needed
• Prepare your land ahead of storm events
• Redirect water to where it is actually beneficial
• Reduce reliance on passive drainage systems alone
• Outperform floodgates in many farming conditions
• Continue draining and lowering water levels after floodgates stop working effectively

This is not just drainage – it is an active flood mitigation and water table management system designed to improve how your entire property performs.

Many farming properties are now experiencing more frequent heavy rainfall and storm events that overwhelm conventional drainage systems.

Common drainage challenges include:

• Heavy rainfall events
• Low-lying land
• High groundwater levels
• Variable soil types
• Poor natural drainage
• Storm related flooding
• Waterlogged paddocks and pasture loss

Properties located on low-lying land and flood-prone areas often experience ongoing groundwater and drainage challenges that traditional systems struggle to manage effectively.

Our Water Siphon system is designed with real farming conditions in mind – providing a practical, scalable solution that works with your land, not against it.

Turn Water into an Asset, Not a Problem

Instead of simply removing water, this system allows you to:

• Regulate water levels across your property through water table management
• Protect soil structure and soil biology
• Improve resilience during extreme weather events
• Recover lost pasture performance during wetter periods
• Increase overall stormwater management across the property

Water becomes something you control – not something that controls your farm.

This solution is ideal for landowners dealing with:

• Regular flooding or waterlogging
• Poor-performing paddocks due to excess water
• High water table challenges
• Storm-related drainage issues
• Land that struggles to recover after rainfall
• Pasture growth deficits in winter
• Ongoing loss of productive area due to wet ground

The most effective flood mitigation strategies focus on long-term water management – not just temporary flood response.

Every property is different. The most effective flood solution starts with understanding your land, water flow and drainage challenges.

Effective flood mitigation planning starts with understanding how water moves across your property during heavy rainfall events and prolonged wet conditions.

Our drainage consultants can work with you to:

• Assess your current drainage issues
• Identify opportunities for improvement
• Design a practical flood mitigation strategy
• Show you how the system could work on your property
• Improve existing drainage infrastructure and water movement
