This was a dry creek in Concho County. We cleaned about 4' of sediment out of it and this is what happened. The rancher has been hauling water to this place for his stock. We cleaned out 2 places in the creed and brought water to the surface both times. before; after;

Is this the Brady Creek by any chance? Lots of water in that gravel and silt it looks like.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

I was on a ranch southeast of Eden and the wells there were hand dug on this ranch and only 13-15' deep on the banks of a creek that ran into the Brady.

Really cool! I could dig for a year and not hit a water table on my place.

That's awesome. Wouldn't be surprised if a doe ran up and planted a kiss on your forehead.

How about the mud covered doe in the first pic? Guess y'all were just a little too late for her.

good work, we did that back in the 2009 drought. We knew about an old spring next to a creek, dug 4 or 5 feet down with the back hoe, adn the creek had water again.

Was there any form of erosion control? From the pics that sediment looks like it's one good gulley washer from being right back where it came from.
