The flow n from ordinary springs, and even from seeps, 

 can be increased bj digging them nut and curbing the sides with 

 jer.ient, the \vater being carried in pipes to conveniently situ- 

 -ted troughs. Swampy spots can often be made to furnish a 

 Wu...,er suppli- by cutting an open channel from some spring in the 

 .lie?, die of chem, perhaps cutting other channels across bhe main 

 o.ie , and drawing the spring and surface water to some storage 



oint outside* Streams flowing through oeep canyons cam be made 

 accessible to stock by constructing trails over which the animals 

 can reach them, or by raising the 'water to the surface of the 

 canyon by mechanical means* 



r ;hen o natural water supply is some distance from 

 the range, small dirt f locd-water reservoirs can be constructed 

 jLiiOSt anywhere to supplement the natural supply. If a low 



lace with a heavy adobe or clay soil is selected in the middle 

 of some open park with sloping hills about it, comparatively 

 little work with plow and scraper will construct a reservoir 



hich, when trampled and puddled by use, will hold enough water 

 for rcrny head of stock for some time. Fnrrows running diagonal!;'. 

 across the slopes will collect the rainfall or melting snow water 

 id carry them directly to the reservoir for storage. Artificial- 

 reservoirs permit the stock to be scattered out over r. larger 



area than ordinarily, and remove the need for them to concentrat 



i 

 at permanent \va.te ring-places.
