Water for Wildlife | Hauled to Dry Waterholes

A rock tank full in spring can be dry dust by July. Arizona hauls water to some 3,000 desert sites all year at a cost above one million dollars. Water for Wildlife pays for getting water there. Your gift fuels and services the hauling vehicles. It covers water trailers and tanks and buys materials to fix troughs and rain catchments. Rangers choose each site and licensed specialists and vets watch the water. In the US our own field team works alongside the center. Elsewhere our team and a local field partner work together. Within 72 hours a note tells you the district or city and whether your gift went to hauling or repairs.

What Our Donors Say
Shota
Irvine, California
A podcast on desert birds said Gambel's quail still need open water in a long heat spell. I gave through the app that night and my receipt came straight away.
Harriet
Missoula, Montana
I used to think coyotes could always find water somewhere. Reading about rock tanks drying out by midsummer changed my mind. I made a gift on the website the same evening.
Rosalie
Bath UK
Sonoran desert toads wait underground for summer rain and breed in whatever pools are left. A friend sent me that article and I gave to the water appeal that night. My account showed the place within 72 hours.
Mairead
Sligo Ireland
I hesitated at first because I live so far from any desert. A news clip of a mountain lion drinking at a refilled tank settled it. The receipt was in my inbox before Sunday lunch.
Ewan
Ballarat, Victoria
Echidnas get by on very little water but a long dry spell still pushes them toward farm dams. I read that in a wildlife newsletter and gave to this appeal the same week.
Abimbola
Silver Spring, Maryland
A ranger interview on the radio described wombats digging at dry creek beds in South Australia. I gave on the website that evening. A short update followed with just what I needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this donation

1Which charities bring water to wildlife in drought?

Quenara Foundation pays to truck water to wildlife watering points that fail during long droughts including fuel and trough repairs. Rangers and park managers decide where and when the water goes.

2What does a Water for Wildlife gift pay for?

Thank you for asking. Your gift covers fuel and upkeep for the vehicles that haul water to dry sites. Trailers and tanks and trough repair materials are part of it too.

3Why does water need funding at all?

A fair question. The cost is moving water rather than the water itself. Fuel and servicing and trailers and repairs are what your gift covers.

4Who picks where the water goes?

Thanks for asking. Protected area managers and rangers choose each site and its timing. Our team does not take part in that choice and never enters closed areas.

5Does your team haul the water?

We appreciate the question. The center's permitted crew hauls the water and sets up the tanks. The Quenara team covers the costs and works beside the center in the field.

6Can artificial water harm wildlife?

That is an important concern. Licensed specialists and veterinarians watch each site. If they see signs of disease or poor water quality they decide whether to close it.

7Will every dry spot get permanent water?

Thank you for understanding. Permanent water is not right everywhere. Water goes only to sites the managers set and only for as long as it is needed.

8Could a water site pull wildlife toward towns?

A good point. Specialists weigh how far each site sits from homes and farms. That is why the location is chosen with care on the ground.

9Does any of my gift go to boreholes?

Thanks for asking. Where it is needed part of a gift helps repair a borehole. The permitted crew does the drilling and the repair work.

10When will I hear where my gift worked?

Within 72 hours your account shows the district or city and the work done. It might read water hauling or trough repair.

11Which countries does this appeal reach?

In the US and Australia our own field team works with the center. In countries such as Kenya a local field partner works alongside our team.

12How fast does the receipt arrive?

The moment your payment clears your receipt reaches your email. Your donation number sits at the top.

13Where can I give?

Thank you for your interest. Gifts are accepted only at quenarafoundation.com and in the Quenara app.

14Who can I contact if I have a question?

We are always glad to hear from you. Write to us through the contact page on the site or the support section in the app. Our team will reply as soon as it can.
