When normal range livestock water supplies are reduced, the results can be (1) poor livestock performance and condition, and (2) range damage caused by both overuse and underuse. Locating additional sources of stock water becomes critical to avoid damaging both animals and range resources. The following suggestions may help make the best use of the water that is available.
Springs and seeps
Many areas still exist where springs and seeps can be developed. Any such water source, however small, is vital in a drought yearand it should prove helpful even in normal years. If possible, store the water in a larger tank, then pipe it to a trough(s); this way, you'll increase the usability of even a very slow-flowing spring or seep. A flow of only 1/2 gallon a minute amounts to 720 gallons a day, which is enough water for 48 cows with calves.
Horizontal wells
Horizontal wells have proved economical and desirable in the Southwest, but little has been done with them in Oregon. A horizontal well consists of a pipe bored at a slight angle down into a hillside to tap small, seepy flows of water. The water is controlled with appropriate valve systems. As with springs, water usually is of high quality.

Soil management following drought
Agnote DPI-355, second edition, August 2002 Abigail Jenkins, Soils Advisory Officer, Wollongbar Introduction Soil structure and erosion Soil nutrition Long-term soil management ... Further assistance
Introduction
The principal aim after rain should be to get pasture or crop cover established on bare paddocks as soon as possible. This applies especially to the red soils, but is also important for the clays. Loss of effective ground cover (due to grazing or cultivation) leaves the soil highly prone to erosion by wind and water. Research by the Soil Services Available N and P levels in the soil are generally higher following a drought than in a normal season. However, most of the N and P are in the topsoil, so if erosion strips the topsoil, much of this benefit is lost.
Soil structure and erosion
Cracking black, grey and brown clays can develop wide and deep cracks during drought. Generally speaking, their structure is as good as it is ever likely to be. On the other hand, the structure of non-cracking red loam soils generally deteriorates during drought. Topsoils can become very dry and powdery, and are highly vulnerable to erosion.

Proper soil structure is essential to high-performance agriculture Soil structure and plant cover functioning
Among the different environmental characteristics, soil structure is often neglected, although it has a strong impact on water and nutrient access and uptake by the crop. If the state of the soil structure is unknown, a crop malfunction can be totally misinterpreted and thus improperly corrected. Soil structure and irrigation
Soil structure and soil texture also have an impact on water infiltration rate and thus on water management efficiency: water losses from evaporation or runoff are either reduced or increased when soil structure is modified. The problem in arid areas is that soil structure is more fragile than anywhere else because of intensive irrigation. In these conditions, high-performance agriculture then greatly relies on a proper diagnosis and management of soil structure states. It is the only way to improve both water availability and infiltration, since soil texture cannot be modified.

Farm Water Conservation During Times of Drought
In a drought prone region such as the Prairies, water availability is always a concern. Limited surface water resources and recurring droughts reinforce the need for conservation. Water conservation, which can be defined as the efficient use of water, should be considered as an important part of every farm management plan. When conservation methods are implemented, financial savings can come in the form of deferred expenditures for expansion or new development of water sources. Environmental benefits include leaving more water in natural systems for in-stream uses and improving the quality of water in those same systems. Understanding the amount of water needed on your farm is the first step in implementing a water conservation program. A water meter can be used to monitor water consumption by livestock, household, irrigation and other needs. Changes in consumption can indicate problems such as leaks which should immediately be fixed to prevent wasting water. Metering can also be used to determine when peaks in water use occur, allowing for planning of storage facilities (cisterns) in situations where supply is limited. Noticing a reduction of water use by cattle can also be an indication of herd health problems. Surface water supplies such as dugouts and streams can be enhanced and protected by implementing conservation measures. Remote watering systems such as solar pumps or nose pumps conserve water by preventing degradation of the source caused by livestock having direct access. Water loss from evaporation and seepage can be reduced from dugouts by installing covers and/or liners.

Case Studies: Sahelian Farming Soil and Water Management Techniques for Plant Resources Conservation in the Northern Burkina Faso Overview: Agriculture in the Sahelian zone like the northern part of Burkina Faso is essentially rainfed. Because of frequent droughts and land degradation, it is more and more difficult for crops to have enough water during their growing period. Farmers of this region have developed several soil and water management techniques like stony lines associated or not with the Zai system. This consists of digging holes during the dry season, putting a small quantity of manure into them and waiting for the raining season to sow seeds. Other techniques have been developed in this region over the past 20 years by many development projects, NGOs with the assistance of research institutions.

Executive Summary
Recurring droughts are a part of Alberta’s climate. These droughts can cause serious impacts on the province’s agriculture industry. Ad hoc responses to an existing drought crisis may lead to untimely and costly short-term solutions. In contrast, a risk management approach to drought allows an immediate, effective response during a drought crisis, and also reduces drought impacts over the long term through planning and preparedness. Therefore Alberta’s agriculture industry has voiced a need for a drought risk management plan. The Agriculture Drought Risk Management Plan (ADRMP) addresses this need. The plan provides a framework for a coordinated, pro-active approach to reduce the effects of drought on Alberta farmers and ranchers.
Shared Responsibility
The activities of the ADRMP will be coordinated by the multi-agency Alberta Drought Management Committee (ADMC). The plan’s three main partner agencies — Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development, Alberta Environment, and Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration — will provide scientific and technical input, develop educational materials and recommend delivery of programs.

Comprehensive Local Water Management Fact
Sheet
Purpose: To protect water and related resources through the adoption and implementation of local water management plans that are based on local priorities. History: The Legislature responded by passing the Comprehensive Local Water Management Act (Minnesota Statutes Sections 103B.301 to 103B.355) in 1985. The act encourages counties to develop and implement comprehensive water plans. Local ownership is the hallmark of the program. W hile the plans are voluntary, various state grants and even some federal monies require the county have an adopted water management plan which is updated periodically (between 5 and 10 years). Local task forces and some regional joint powers boards were created to guide the plans. The strengths of the first water plans included: a greater local awareness of environmental issues, strengthened ties with state agencies, and identification of priority issues along with implementation actions to address those issues.

Description:

A twelve month period during which precipitation is less than 85% of normal as defined by the National Weather Service (44 inches is the average precipitation level per year). The Palmer Drought Index is used for the purpose of activating the Drought Emergency Plan. The index is a composite of evapotranspiration, recharge, runoff, loss, and precipitation. The plan is activated at -2.00 on the index (moderate drought) and at -3.00 an Emergency Proclamation is issued by the Governor. Secondary Effects:
Agricultural losses vary due to the crops affected and the duration of the drought. The effects of wildfires are worsened when water tables are lowered and plants are more susceptible. Lowered water tables affect individual residential wells and some public water supplies. Recreational activities may be severely impacted by substantially reduced precipitation, both in summer and winter. Erosion of the soil occurs when root systems wither. Vulnerability:
Mitigation:

Early identification of drought threats is important in order to educate the public in conservation measures and minimize damage. The Soil and Water Conservation Commission, together with other Department of Agriculture divisions, the Department of Conservation, and the Department of Environmental Protection, have programs/regulations/ policies/educational materials to assist in minimizing this hazard.

Many people have asked the American Red Cross for tips on conserving water for environmental reasons, as well as when drought conditions threaten. The following tips were developed by a coalition of specialists on water conservation in Florida, and are also consistent with the recommendations that were developed through the National Disaster Education Coalition's "Drought Forum":
Indoor Use
General
  • Never pour water down the drain when there may be another use for it. Use it to water your indoor plants or garden.
  • Make sure your home is leak-free. When you are certain that no water is being used in your home, take a reading of the water meter. Wait 30 minutes and then take a second reading. If the meter reading changes, you have a leak!
  • Repair dripping faucets by replacing washers. One drop per second wastes 2,700 gallons of water per year!

Flower Management Before, During, and Following Drought By Dr. Jim Klett, Larry Vickerman, and Carl Wilson, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension, Horticulture No Current Watering Restrictions If Watering Restrictions are Expected in the Next Few Weeks or Mild Restrictions are in Place When NO Watering is Allowed After Watering Prohibition is Lifted
No current watering restrictions:
The following practices will help keep your flowers healthy while conserving water. Proper soil preparation prior to planting will help conserve water.
  • Prepare soil before planting by loosening soil to 12 inches. If it is a heavy clay or sandy soil, add 2-3 inches of compost on the soil surface and then till in to a 12-inch depth.
Proper Mulch
  • Apply 1-2 inches of organic mulch between flowers to reduce evaporation and control water-using weeds.
Fertilization
  • Fertilizing perennials is generally not needed if proper soil preparation is done prior to planting. Fertilizer causes lush growth that requires more water. If fertilization is needed, a slow release fertilizer can be applied in the spring. Moderate fertilization for bedding plants is recommended either as liquid or granular or a combination of both.

No Current Watering Restrictions
The following practices will help keep your trees and shrubs healthy while conserving water.
  • Check your irrigation system Check your system's coverage by placing out shallow containers, like cat food or tuna fish cans, at several locations, and measuring the depth of the water. Replace damaged heads. Adjust heads to avoid watering streets or driveways. Adjust heads to water the feeder root system more directly, without hitting the main trunk(s) of the tree or shrub. Water between 9 PM and 9 AM. Use sprinklers that apply large droplets of water at a low angle. Fine spray mists and sprinklers that throw water high into the air often waste water from evaporation. If you do not have an automatic sprinkler system, use a bubbler at the end of a hose to apply water at a low rate at several locations beyond the drip line. Remember, the roots on established trees extend 3 to 5 times the height of the tree.

Introduction
As you come out of drought, a reassessment of your water needs will be part of your property management plan.
Stock and domestic supplies
during the drought:
  • Were there sufficient watering points in all paddocks? Were dams/tanks big enough? Were dam catchments able to be maintained satisfactorily? Were bores, pipelines, pumps and troughs adequate?
Dams/tanks which have become partially filled with silt, manure and other debris from bare catchment areas have a reduced capacity. During drought, many landholders take the opportunity to de-silt tanks and dams. Adequate ground cover should be maintained in water catchment areas and constructed waterways in order to keep water clean and prevent loss of capacity. The area around the inlet is particularly important, and good cover here can act as a filter and as a silt trap.
