Water stations to be installed in CA desert regions for bighorn sheep
Fox News
Water stations will be installed throughout Southern California’s Mojave Desert, Chuckwalla Valley area, and other regions home to bighorn sheep.
The move comes as desert watering holes have dried up and less vegetation is growing due to drought, said James Cornett, an ecologist who has taught a course on bighorn sheep at University of California, Riverside.
With fewer places to find water, herds may see their movement limited and that can lead to inbreeding and additional problems for the population, Cornett said.
