We also have a spring creek located in our largest pasture, below the Lodge. In the event of severe drought, we have deep water wells located in each animal area to supply fresh water until natural run-off occurs. This water is piped to key watering areas where animals utilize the metal water troughs that are regulated with automatic float valves. Also, there are seasonal creeks in some of the pastures such as below the giraffe yard.
