Weather Update:
No rain on the horizon so unfortunately today we have to buy water

 

[rjohns39]

One day I'll have my rainwater catch system designed and installed. But I need to learn a lot more about pumps and floats... Learning how to operate the equipment to Make/clean up swales and ponds... I live on the side of a mountain, so I can gravity feed water down below the barn, but in the end I need my primary storage to be up top, so I can gravity feed to my pastures. I have a friend with a half dozen 1 acre ponds about 200' down from the top to catch winter run off and spring rains. As you follow his roads, he's got a 5 gallon bucket buried about every 100 yards with a T, on/off valve and quick disconnect.

Carrying 5 gallon buckets up hill is not fun...
