The new edition of the Wildlife Water Development Atlas is finally in! (what's a guzzler?) The new book is available in all NDOW offices for $40.
Water developments are water tanks that have been placed on public land where rainwater is collected and stored for use by large and small birds, mammals and reptiles. A variety of agencies, including the Bureau of Land Management, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, United States Forest Service, and Federal Aid for Wildlife Restoration have installed more than 1500 guzzlers statewide.
The books consist of 72 pages of topographic maps that cover the entire state. Besides giving locations of the water developments, they are good references for finding springs, roads and trails, mountains and valleys.
NDOW does not make a profit on the books and that their cost is about the same as the printing price. All money that NDOW receives from the sale of the books will be used to print additional books.
