[QUOTE="Hillsberger, post: 950476, member: 19293"] I am new to all this and don't really know where to start. We lease our land to a fellow who brings about 350 head of cattle to graze half the year. There is very little standing water on our property, especially during Summer and Fall. I'd like to add a watering hole or stock pond to keep the herd hydrated but from what I've read there is a "right way" and a wrong way to do it. I don't know (yet) if we have water rights and our property has neighboring ranches on two sides and open land and a lake on the other two sides. There are a few streams that are only active in the Winter and Spring. I suspect I'd need to hire an engineer to take a look first but not even sure how I'd find one (Central CA). I assume I can't just widen one of the streams in a spot and let water collect? Can anyone point me in a direction for starting this process? [/QUOTE]
