Installation of an elevated water storage tower and drip irrigation system designed to improve water distribution, support reliable crop production and promote efficient use of available water resources.
Scope of Work
Water Tower Installation
An elevated water tower was installed to provide reliable water storage and create sufficient pressure for distribution across the site. Elevated storage helps maintain a steady water supply even when pumping is intermittent.
Drip Irrigation Installation
A drip irrigation system was installed to deliver water directly to the root zone of crops. This method reduces water losses through evaporation and runoff while ensuring crops receive water where it is needed most.
Efficient Water Use
Drip irrigation is one of the most water-efficient irrigation methods for farms in Kenya, especially in areas where water availability is limited. Controlled application helps farmers reduce wastage while maintaining consistent crop watering.
Improved Farm Productivity
Combining elevated water storage with drip irrigation provides a dependable irrigation system that supports more consistent crop growth, better water management and improved agricultural productivity.
Sustainable Irrigation Solution
The Osinantei project demonstrates how water storage and drip irrigation can work together to support climate-smart agriculture in Kenya. The system provides a practical solution for farms, schools and community projects seeking to improve food production while using water more efficiently.
