The Irrigation Due Diligence Checklist
12 questions to ask before you buy a horticultural property. Free, from the team behind 15,000 ha of feasibility studies.
What's inside
Twelve questions, four topics.
A free checklist from Ardal Water Solutions: 12 questions to ask before buying an orchard, vineyard or irrigated farm, grouped under water, infrastructure, soil and crop, and risk.
Water
Entitlements and reliability, what the property actually uses, and what happens in a low allocation year.
Infrastructure
Age and condition of the pumps, filtration and mains, and whether the system can meet peak demand.
Soil and crop
Soil tests, drainage and salinity, and whether the crop suits the soil, climate and water.
Risk and compliance
Frost, flood and heat exposure, and whether meters, licences and approvals are in order.

Questions
The checklist, answered.
What are the red flags when buying an irrigated property?
Water you can't rely on in a dry year, licences that don't match what the property uses, worn out or undersized pumps and filtration, soil problems such as salinity or poor drainage, and frost or flood exposure that hasn't been allowed for. The checklist turns each one into a question to ask before you sign.
Can you check the property for me?
Yes. Our feasibility and due diligence work answers these questions in one independent report. Send the address and what you plan to grow, and we'll come back with a scope and a price.
