FORTY-SECOND BIENNIAL REPORT 



115 



The "gallinaceous guzzler" program has been accelerated by the use of prefabricated 

 plastic basins and glass mat (asphalt emulsion) catchment aprons. The installation of 

 the plastic model requires about one-fifth the time needed for the construction of the 

 concrete type of guzzler. Another advantage gained by using the plastic model is that it 

 can readily be moved to a new site, if the original location proves unsatisfactory. 



During the biennium 1,010 guzzlers were installed, bringing to 1,744 the number 

 now in operation.
