This program has developed as a result of experimental work performed by project 6-R. During the biennium about 150 "gallinaceous guzzlers," or rain catchment aprons with underground cisterns and access ramps, were constructed primarily to provide water for thirsty quail. Many acres of habitat unsuitable because of lack of water are now producing thou- sands of additional quail for California's hunters.
