Surface Water Irrigation Advice From J H Hale Okla
Lack of moisture harms crops and drought will worsen with population growth and land use. Diversify crops and consider irrigated land via wells, windmills, springs, or reservoirs. Build ponds by selecting a high but not excessive site, forming a strong lower dam with riprap and minimal interior rock. Use cement where overflow occurs, sod bare soil, and place a gas pipe with a hose to deliver water to plants. A pond can pay for itself in a season and serve many uses including fish, fowls, trees, boating, ice, skating, and capturing summer runoff.
