I live in an area known as Spring Valley. I have three spring branches (small streams for you flat landers) that flow through my property. They come together behind the house and then flow down to the creek that runs through my land. One of the springs flow into a concrete reservoir. Using gravity feed, this used to supply my home with water up until a severe drought in the early 2000s. The then home owner had a well drilled. The spring did come back about a year later.

In 2007, there was another drought. There were several spots where you could just about walk across the New River without getting your feet wet. However, I had plenty of water. My pasture stayed green, unlike some farmers a few miles down the road.

My garden this year is pretty small, due to too much rain keeping me from getting the ground ready. I may look into getting and storing water from the garage roof. It would be a gravity feed to the garden.

So far, I've been blessed with more than adequate water.
