Description

Adequate supplies of good quality water available at water distribution points on the western range is essential for efficient livestock production. This is equally true in pastures of eastern South Dakota. These eastern pastures, however, are small and carrying capacity per acre is high as compared to western range land. Therefore the problem of distribution is less. As a general rule, water supplies can also be developed more cheaply in eastern South Dakota. Low population densities in the west further aggravate the problem when we consider feasibility criteria presently used in evaluating proposed systems.
