WATER DRAFTING. Water drafting involves the direct drafting of stream flow into a water truck which is then periodically sprinkled or otherwise applied for dust abatement, road maintenance, road construction, surfacing, and prescribed fuel reduction burning. Water may also be obtained by the use of gravity fed systems that provide water directly to storage reservoirs or tanks for similar use. Occasionally, existing drafting locations within or adjacent to watercourses are excavated and cleaned of debris to increase their in- channel storage area for drafting purposes.
