Limpopo notes on borehole & water supply
Game farms in the Waterberg and around Hoedspruit and Alldays run <a href="/solar-borehole-pumps/">solar borehole pumps</a> to fill troughs and water points, often with anti-theft mounts for the panels. Orchards near Tzaneen and Letsitele use three phase irrigation pumps from rivers and boreholes. Homes in Polokwane and Mokopane keep a borehole or a tank with a booster for when the municipal supply is off.
Water and ground in Limpopo
Hot, dry for much of the year and spread over huge distances, Limpopo depends on boreholes more than most provinces. Polokwane and many villages draw a large share of their water from groundwater, and towns have had supply interruptions in long dry spells. Around Tzaneen and Letsitele, avocados, mangoes, citrus and nuts are irrigated from the Letaba catchment and from boreholes, while game farms in the Waterberg, near Hoedspruit and along the Limpopo valley pump water to troughs and pans with solar sets. Mining adds its own demand: platinum near Mokopane, coal at Lephalale and copper and phosphate at Phalaborwa all need dewatering and slurry pumps. Summer heat pushes motors hard, and storms bring lightning.
The requests we see from Limpopo usually come from:
- Farms: larger pumps on three phase for livestock troughs, reservoirs and irrigation
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a communal borehole pump feeding the complex garden system or a backup tank
- Smallholdings and plots: one pump for the house, the animals and the vegetables, sized to the yield

Borehole Pumps usually suit houses, plots, smallholdings and farms. How it is fitted: hung on the drop pipe below the water. For farms, the biggest group here, that usually means larger pumps on three phase for livestock troughs, reservoirs and irrigation.
