Final Methods
After the cultural clearance process was completed the land owner installed the planned practices to complete the livestock watering systems. just under 2 miles of HDPE pipe was ripped in using a D9 dozer running from the existing lines and troughs to the 6 new 12 ft. tire troughs. These systems are gravity fed and free flowing the overflow water will return to the original channels, creating a wet mesic area for wildlife.

Project Narrative
Water from the existing livestock watering systems was piped to the uplands and under watered pastures to facilitate a rotational grazing system. This distributed water across the landscape to improve grazing distribution, wildlife habitat and watershed health.
*
Future Management
The landowner has installed several hundreds of systems across the states of Utah, Idaho and Nevada. Many of his own existing systems on his ranch have been in place for 10-20 years, he knows the importance of these projects and how to maintain these systems. The landowner will provide maintenance as needed to the systems and ensure that they stay functioning.
