FIGURE 6. Surveyor's Spring. Excavated, and perforated Orangeburg asphalt pipe installed and gravel-packed. Plastic pipe installed to carry water to a basin out of the canyon bottom. This type of development has been used on springs producing a flow of as little as one gallon per hour to as much as 75 gallons per hour. OTHER SPRINGS OR WATER SOURCES On rare occasions a location is found where simple excavation will produce a strong flow of water, and where no piping or storage basin is required. There are locations where an adequate supply of water exists but does not reach the surface because it is used and transpired by the dense growth of hydrophytes. Such water can be made available to game by opening the source or sources usually found near the upper edge of the heavy growth. Ursina Spring in the Providence Mountains of San Bernardino County is an example where a flow of 15 gallons per hour was produced by control of vegetation and exposing the source. The prior condition was that of a seep. Although seasonal springs do not warrant extensive work, the water they produce during the winter and spring might profitably be col- lected and stored for use by game during the dry season. There is little that can be done to improve natural tanks or tenajas. They are important to wildlife and in some desert mountain ranges are the only source of water. It has been noted that deep and well- shaded tanks retain water the longest. One large exposed tank (Figure.
