Introducing Magnar Irrigation Systems

As water supplies dwindle, occasioned by erratic weather patterns, there has been growing calls to embrace water preservation and efficient techniques that allow judicious water use. This, at a time when studies show that Kenya still remains one of the most water stressed countries. But even as the country looks to technology to conserve water, cost and quality have conspired to defeat this resolve. Water solutions like pumps, irrigation kits and machines, mostly imported have been out of reach for majority who need them. Cognizant of the role of these water conservation technologies to the country’s sustainable development agenda, agro input company Elgon Kenya has introduced a new line of innovations. Dubbed Magnar Irrigation Systems, technologies that include irrigation kits, power sprayers, water pumps, generators, sprinklers, drip lines & fittings, filters, rainguns and rain hose are designed in Kenya, with sure of high quality on parameters. By Elgon Kenya choosing to do direct imports, it is working to make them affordable to its customers.

Transforming Farms and Lives through Technology- Elgon Kenya Enters into irrigation solutions business to encourage judicious use water. We listened to our customers and noticed that water solutions have been a major concern. Customers want judicious use of water but the technologies that can assist them in doing so are beyond their reach. We have thus, in living true to our mantra of being a Kenyan company for Kenyans, decided to be customized design & importing these solutions on behalf of farmers under the Magnar Irrigation Systems banner. The solutions target customize water irrigation solution, areas among them agriculture (small/large sectors). Water wastage remains a costly affair which does not only affect individual households, but also the country in terms of rationings in a bid to preserve the little that is available. In an ironic twist, despite Kenya being ranked one of the most water scarce countries in the world, it has equally been listed as among countries that waste a lot of water. But while there has been numerous technologies in the market that promises prudent water use, quality has always been compromised meaning wastage goes on unabated.

According to World Bank, Kenya loses more than a third of water through leakages which costs water supplies over Sh10.6 billion in losses. One of the greatest sources of low water supply is water loss in distribution networks and water pilferage. The impact of this is profound, which has meant that more residents cannot access the water they deserve as water suppliers struggle to meet demand for water with limited financing. By cutting physical losses to half the present level, two extra million people could be supplied with already treated water in Nairobi alone. The Magnar Irrigation Systems have positioned themselves as a frontrunner in the market for their ease of availability, durability and being pocket friendly therefore appealing to a wide range of clientele especially smallholder farmers who are particularly bearing the brunt of water scarcity.
