ErfGoed, a leading provider of horticultural solutions, has partnered with Albers Alligator to build the largest water basin both companies have ever constructed. This groundbreaking project, located at Double Diamond Farms in Canada, addresses the growing demand for reliable water storage in the horticultural sector. The massive basin, with a storage capacity exceeding 128 million liters of water, is set to significantly improve water management for the farm and the surrounding region.

Record-Breaking Basin Dimensions

The water basin at Double Diamond Farms is an engineering feat, measuring 426 meters (1,398 feet) in length, 69 meters (226 feet) in width, and 5 meters (17 feet) in depth. With its enormous capacity, the basin will provide sustainable water storage for the farm’s operations, ensuring a steady supply of high-quality irrigation water.

This large-scale project is designed to address the increasing challenge of water scarcity, a critical issue for horticulture businesses worldwide. As water resources become more limited, having sufficient storage capacity is essential for maintaining productivity and sustainability in agriculture.
