Borehole & water supply in Worcester: local notes
Farms in the Hex River valley, Rawsonville and along the Breede pump from canals and dams into drip and micro irrigation, usually with three phase pumps, filters and pressure control. Boreholes top up supply in dry years, and yields vary a lot across the valley. Larger abstraction may need to be registered or licensed with the Department of Water and Sanitation, so check before you drill and pump at scale.
Water and ground in Worcester
Worcester is the hub of the Breede River valley, one of the country's big irrigation areas. Table grapes in the Hex River valley around De Doorns, wine grapes around Rawsonville and Robertson, and fruit and vegetables along the river all depend on water pumped from canals, farm dams, the Breede River and boreholes. Brandvlei Dam and the irrigation schemes supply much of it, and summers are hot and dry, so pumps run long hours from spring to autumn. Winter storms can bring floods down the Breede and the Hex, with damage to pump houses on low lying farms. In town, homes in Avian Park and Zwelethemba use tanks and boosters. Pump shops, irrigation suppliers and rewinders line the industrial roads of Worcester.

- Farms: larger pumps on three phase for livestock troughs, reservoirs and irrigation
- Smallholdings and plots: one pump for the house, the animals and the vegetables, sized to the yield
