Colby, Kansas | As some others mentioned seed-soil contact and depth control will be the bigger issues, especially with a hoe drill. A single-disk no-till opener such as a CaseIH SDX or Deere 90 series would be much better. I would plant deeper rather than shallower to let the soil "buffer" variation in seeding depth a bit. Being in narrower rows will help, I like the suggestions on here of narrow meter wheels to help control it a bit, or running fewer meter rolls with splitters.
The bigger question to me in your post is what is in the water that they would otherwise have to filter out. Is application of this water to ag fields something that has been going on, or something new, if new I would investigate a bit? There may be something in the water that will limit your cumulative application within a crop or calendar year, and that could certainly affect your plans.
