Andrew and Marina Rix farm 90 ha of organic almonds on the Darling River.

In 2021, they installed a set of modern Riverscreens on their pump station. These screens have a super fine mesh that measures just 50 micons.

The screens have eliminated impacts caused by debris – saving water, money and labour, while also protecting native fish.

Andrew reports a massive reduction in the need to backflush his pumps or maintain inline filtration to protect his high-tech irrigation system.
