Interest in alternative livestock watering options is high around the state. In response, KRC, KSU and several WRAPS watersheds have sponsored tire tank installation demonstration workshops. The tank installations provide cleaner water for livestock and give ponds a longer life, and help protect water quality in area streams and reservoirs.

KRC field staff Lyle Kohlmeier has developed an “Illustrated Guide to Tire Tank Installation” based on KSU Watershed Specialist’s Herschel George’s guidelines. The Guide is now online here.
