Water Conservation; Water Erosion; Flooding and Prevention

Photograph of a farm pond with an earth-filled dam. Loose rock rip-rap and spillway. This is quite typical of farm pond construction in this area. The water is low due to the severe hot and dry summer. Some farm ponds supply the only stock water available on many farms. OK-5332.
