Water pumps are used in many agricultural and irrigation applications by helping to transfer water from one place to another. The pump directs and controls water flow from a source, such as a pond or stream, and sends it to another location for a different use, such as irrigation or filling livestock water containers. Pumps are also a reliable tool for removing large volumes of water from flooded fields or reclaiming tailwater for reuse.
GATOR Pump has developed agricultural and irrigation pumps for over 47 years, with a comprehensive product line that includes portable pumps, filtration solutions, feeding pivot pumps with screens for surface water sources, and more. Choose from portable pumps for canals, ditches, ponds, or streams without suction lines or priming, including tractor- or trailer-mounted solutions for easy one-person handling and operation. Keep reading to learn how our pumps can help you transport water safely and reliably to your fields.
Uses for Agricultural & Irrigation Water Pumps
Agricultural pumps are versatile tools. They can be used in many different agricultural and watering tasks for crops and livestock. Depending on your needs, we can provide solutions for aquaculture, conventional agriculture and crops, livestock care, and more.
The details of the application determine the optimal pump solution. Not only do some pumps offer more pressure or flow capabilities, but some applications require pumps that comply with safety or industry standards. We recommend considering the following field use factors when selecting a pump for your property:
- Discharge and pressure requirements.
- Frequency of use.
- Power requirements and costs.
- Environmental constraints, such as available space, exposure to corrosives, or sources of wear.
- Available shelter or waterproofing in the field.
- Maintenance capabilities or constraints.
Applications
GATOR Pump produces reliable pumps for general and specialty use. Some common applications include:
- Aquaculture farming for catfish, crawfish, and shrimp.
- Weed control in aquatic environments.
- Dewatering crop fields.
- Harvesting peat bogs and other crops.
- Cleaning ponds and lagoons.
- Removing sludge or sediment.
- Transferring high volumes of water from canals, ditches, ponds, and rivers.
- Transporting water to farms, fields, homes, or businesses.
- Flood and row irrigation.
- Transferring drinking water for livestock.
- Livestock waste management for feedlots, dairies, and hog farms.
- Supporting tail-water reuse.
Each of these agricultural tasks benefits from a pump and filtration system suited to the environmental conditions and activity.

Custom Specialty Water Pumps
We also manufacture several customized specialty water pumps. This allows you to fulfill unique operational requirements with modified pump designs and custom-engineered pumping and filtration solutions built with our same impeller technology. Some examples of customizations we’ve done for our clients include:
- GATOR 3-Part Tractor Canal Pump. Pump water out of canals and ditches. We provide pumps with 6 in., 8 in., and 10 in. discharge options, managing a peak flow over 5,000 gpm.
- The GATOR Pivot Pump. This pump supports pivot sprinklers that use groundwater. The built-in flotation mount holds the pump inlet at the water surface, while double-screened filters keep out contaminants. For use when a traditional well pump is not available, but surface water can feed the sprinkler line.
- The GATOR Cart Pump. This smaller portable pump is easy for one person to use. It’s light, has a 2 in. or 3 in. discharge, and comes in gasoline motor and electric versions.
Our team can help you select a pump or design a custom option that reduces your operating costs, reduces your down time and lowers your energy consumption. We will work with you to select the pump components, including valves, fittings, and properly sized pipes, to help you minimize head losses and achieve maximum flow efficiencies.
