Those who lay the foundations for BD Water

BD Water is driven by a vision of making water management simpler and more accessible for people across WA.

What Barkley started in 2009 as a small irrigation operation focusing on delivering high quality and efficient reticulation systems quickly expanded into a full-service water management company.

We saw that many property owners and farmers needed tailored solutions to ensure their crops and land got the water they needed, especially in Western Australia’s challenging climate. Over time, we became experts in integrating irrigation, bores and water licensing, providing comprehensive solutions for water-related challenges.

Barkley’s background in irrigation, coupled with a growing need for sustainable water solutions in semi-rural and rural areas, paved the way for what BD Water is today - a trusted name in irrigation, bores and licensing.
