Providing an adequate supply of water to your farm is required for your livelihood, necessary for farming and for the survival of livestock. Reliable, quality water is critical to any mixed farming enterprise and prolonged dry seasons can highlight the need for this precious resource. Water is a basic necessity of life, and even more critical to the farmer with crops and animals dependent upon this valuable resource.
Farmers know they need to have a reliable supply of water but knowing just how much water your farm needs can be a complicated equation. According to Agriculture Victoria, a partnership for farmers, industries and communities, there is some helpful advice for just how much water your farm needs depending on your farm location and type of livestock on your farm. Know Your Water Requirements Installing quality water yard hydrants in the right locations to supply fresh water for your farm and livestock is critical to meet your farming needs. In order to calculate the requirements for your farm’s water supply you need to consider the available water resources, the quality of the water, drought conditions and your future needs. Some of the most farm water needs as unregulated water requirements include:
Beef cattle can require up to 100 litres of water per head, per day. Dry sheep can require up to 10 litres per head, per day, while a garden might need 45 litres per minute during watering time.
