As many as 90 water stations will be installed in the Mojave Desert, Chuckwalla Valley area and elsewhere to provide water for bighorn sheep as drought saps water supplies and hinders the growth of vegetation. Without enough water supplies throughout the area, herds’ movement may be limited, which could lead to inbreeding and other problems.
