Irrigation & Drainage Engineering

Practical irrigation engineering solutions designed for efficiency, sustainability, and long-term agricultural productivity across Africa.

Drawing on decades of expertise across our specialist team, Agricane has developed a unique irrigation selection matrix that helps identify the most suitable systems for different crops, environments, and operational conditions. We continuously evaluate water- and energy-efficient, practical irrigation solutions for both commercial estates and small-grower schemes to maximize productivity and long-term value.

Agricane’s Irrigation and Drainage services include:

Irrigation feasibility and design

Center pivot, drip, furrow/flood and sprinkler systems

Irrigation drainage and operations solutions

Crop water management

Commercial and small-grower schemes

Energy conservation systems

Our team provides a complete range of irrigation and drainage services, from feasibility studies and system design through implementation and operational management. We understand that sustainable irrigation depends on effective drainage systems that maintain optimal soil moisture conditions, support long-term crop productivity, and help communities manage flooding and excess water during extreme weather events.

Since 2008, Agricane has designed irrigation systems for more than 50,000 hectares across Africa, ranging from large-scale commercial developments to small-grower schemes. Our expertise spans furrow, rice paddy, center pivot, sprinkler, drip, and floppy irrigation systems. Because our senior consultants have managed successful agricultural operations themselves, our strength lies not only in design excellence, but also in the practical application and long-term management of irrigation systems.

We have also developed more than 5,000 hectares of small-grower irrigation schemes across Southern and Central Africa, with designs tailored to local management capacity, maintenance requirements, and community needs.
