water management

[DPANTOJA]

I would appreciate any Ideas on how to manage water. My dad and I have a ranch in Mexico and I think it would be a good Idea to by a water tank for the dry season. I would need a tank big enough for pasture irrigation for the dry season and for the cattle.
We have a couple of ponds. Water comes out of them year round, but get plug with the cattle. I want to be able to capture water when it rains and maybe fill up the tank with the ponds.

You'd need a biiiiiiiiiggggggg tank for irrigation.

It takes about 27,000 gallons to irrigate 1 acre with 1 inch of water.

to be able to irrigate from a tank, you must be thinking about quite a tank... 100,000 gallons? 500,000?
