Irrigation Reservoir

An irrigation reservoir stores water to be used in irrigation. This video explores how Robert and Cathy Seidenstricker of DeValls Bluff, AR, built this to support their row crops.

Major benefits of this practice include:
1. Increases water availability
2. Reduces erosion
3. Improves irrigation efficiency
4. Reduces water and energy use
5. Provides water storage

The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.

Filmed in 2019.
