Spring development is a collection of water from springs or seeps to provide water to improve the quantity and/or quality of water for livestock, wildlife, or other agricultural uses. This video explores how Dar and Bryce Meredith implemented this conservation practice on their land in Reno, Nevada.
Major benefits of this practice include:
• Improves water quality
• Reduces soil erosion
• Improves water source reliability
• Increases plant productivity
• Improves soil health
The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
