Water note 7 - Livestock management watering points and pumps

Guidance
Information about controlling livestock access to protect and restore riparian zines in rural areas.
Last updated:

Traditional agricultural practices have often involved unrestricted livestock access to rivers and riparian zones and many continue to be used to provide livestock watering and summer feed.

Unrestricted stock access causes disturbance and pollution resulting in environmental degradation and loss of productivity.

Restricting livestock access is an important river restoration management tool and this water note addresses the alternatives for the provision of water to livestock.
