Upington notes on drainage, sewage & dewatering
Silt and sand from the Orange River wear pump impellers and clog intakes, so river pump stations need screens and regular cleaning. Packhouses and wineries along the river need sump and drainage pumps for wash water. On rare heavy rain, drains in Paballelo and town overflow. Pools are common in the heat, and pool pumps work long hours, so repairs and replacements keep local shops busy.
Upington: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Upington is a green strip of vineyards in a desert. Table grapes, raisin grapes and some wine grapes grow along the Orange River from Groblershoop to Kakamas, watered by canals and pumps that lift river water onto the farms and into drip systems. Irrigation pumps, filters and pump stations are the main business here, with repairs needed fast in the hot months when vines cannot wait. Away from the river, the Kalahari and Bushmanland farms run on boreholes for sheep, goats and game, and solar pumps suit the long sunny days. Groundwater can be salty, so test it. Summer heat is extreme, which is hard on motors, cables and control panels standing in the sun.
Typical pond and fountain pumps requests in the area come from:
- Farms: a homestead garden feature or small dam aerated with a fountain pump
- Municipalities, schools and clinics: park fountains and civic water features with pumps in a pump room
- Smallholdings and plots: a farm dam fountain or a duck pond kept moving with a solar pump
