This information sheet is primarily intended for persons associated with or working with the LRTC Technical Large Animal Rescue Team, however the information may be useful to other groups or private individuals who may wish to similarly equip a support unit or who may need to utilize the resources available on LRTC's Water Supply-1.
Water Supply-1 was originally built to provide emergency water to livestock and free-roaming horses on the range during droughts. At that time it was little more than a tank and pump mounted on a home built trailer with a length of hose for filling tanks.
As the years progressed, and with assistance from allied agencies that had some surplus equipment, Water Supply-1 has evolved into a multi-purpose resource utilized for a combination of duties including providing range resources (water,) emergency stock water during emergencies, operating water powered rescue equipment, and providing defensive fire protection.
