I wish there were something like that available here. This will call for more reading about the subject. I picture Matt just throwing a pump into a roadside ditch and successfully getting water for the yard, something I presumed was impossible with the sediment that would clog the pump.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-9642454214813352622012-06-28T23:10:38.346-06:002012-06-28T23:10:38.346-06:00Wow, that is awesome!

It was first used in 1883. Then there is the canal or Little Ditch that is an offshoot of this Big Ditch which was built for similar purposes. So we get out water from the Yellowstone River via the ditches which are piped underground into my backyard. Really all of the city water comes from the Yellowstone River. That is where our drinking supply comes from as well....though not through backyard pipes! :)BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-72125761925877628622012-06-27T19:00:35.216-06:002012-06-27T19:00:35.216-06:00What is "ditch water?" I know what water...What is "ditch water?" I know what water in a ditch is, but this is not a familiar concept--using water from a ditch. Do you really just pipe water from a ditch?Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
