Feeding the cows in this mess!

What happens here

The farmer proceeds to check the cattle's water supply system. He inspects a 150-gallon water tank, noting a minimal ice chunk and no significant mud around the tank. He demonstrates how the system works: a pipe from the pond feeds a hose that trickles into the tank, with an overflow hose returning excess water to the creek. This continuous flow prevents freezing and ensures a fresh water supply for the cows, while also preventing manure contamination of the creek.

Goal: Ensure continuous, clean, and unfrozen water access for cattle.
