A2o—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 17,1982 LEESPORT - Springs in pasture fields are sometimes a nuisance, creating a favorite swamp hole for cattle and sheep to “muck" through on hot summer days. But, if developed, these same springs could be turned from miserable marshes to functional, refreshing “water fountains” for livestock. Converting this drainage problem into a working watering system requires a three-part plan, according to Tina Didyoung, soil conservation technician with the Berks County Soil Conservation Service. First, the seepage needs to be collected, before it works its way out on the gerund's surface, through a series of tile lines which lead into a collection box or “well.” From here the water feeds into a pipeline a gravity flows to a trough. Once the spring development is completed, Didyoung recommends J Model only $269.95 I i - Reg. $299.95 !

She suggests copper pipe or cleaning pads be placed in the spring box to “reduce accumulation of algae -in the storage system.” Didyoung also advises farmers to fence livestock away from any exposed collection boxes. “When inspecting the spring box, check to see if there is still a water-tight connection between the box and the pipeline,” reminds Didyoung. “Air locks occur if the pipeline has sags; these can be removed by pumping water through the line. To prevent air locks you can install air vents in the spring box or re-lay the pipe on grade without sags or high points.” Surface drainage and overflows should be diverted away from the watering facility, she adds.
