Remote Pasture Water Systems Benefits

Remote Pasture Water Systems Benefits

Benefits of a well planned and constructed pasture water system:
  • water source protection and, thus, longer water source life
  • improved herd health
  • increased livestock production, in some situations
  • better pasture utilization
  • riparian protection and, thus, a more environmentally friendly livestock industry
  • an alternative winter water supply and system for livestock away from the farmyard, which reduces manure hauling costs, manure buildup in the calving area and associated animal health problems.

​Pasture Water Systems

A variety of livestock watering methods are available to suit any type of pasture and location. The power options to move water to livestock include solar, wind, fuel, stream flow, mainline electricity and gravity flow. Selecting the most appropriate option can be a challenge.

Consider the following factors when selecting a pasture water system:
  • type and location of available water sources
  • site locations and conditions (remote location, topography, riparian features)
  • type of grazing system (intensive or extensive)
  • number of livestock
  • access to power source (mainline power, solar, wind, animals, etc.)
  • pumping system (amount of lift, automated versus manual)
  • flexibility and portability
  • reliability and maintenance
  • temporary or seasonal water storage
  • cost/benefit and cost/animal
  • personal preference

​Note: Establish a list of priorities for a pasture water system and use some of the natural advantages of the site and equipment.
