Range Watering Places in the Southwest

M. W. Talbot

No 348681, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: The Southwest is an arid or semiarid region of small rainfall, high summer temperatures, low humidity, and high winds, resulting in relatively scanty natural surface supplies of water. Increased demand for range in this region has made the relation between watering facilities and proper range management more and more important; and adequacy of watering places, types of water development, and spacing and feasible location of such developments on the range have now become urgent considerations over an immense area. This bulletin presents the results of over three years’ study and observation, under varying conditions, of more than 200 reservoirs, 50 wells, and numerous water developments of other types in Arizona and New Mexico.
