Arizona – Little Springs Point Project

This 10,000 gallon system enhances a 4500 acre habitat area (1.5 miles).  It is a deer wintering range and desert bighorn sheep area on the edge of the Kanab Canyon, approximately 35 miles south of Fredonia, AZ.  The cooperators for this project are Kaibab National Forest, AZ Game and Fish Department and the AZ Desert Bighorn Sheep Society.

Notice how this particular drinker is built into the side-hill and landscape to blend into the environment.

This guzzler is 50% below ground, 50% above.  The main concern is to support the sidewalls so that they do not bulge from the water pressure.  You can also support the side with timer or railroad ties if needed.
