Description: Photograph of a part of Tornillo Flats, Big Bend National Park, where pitting was done last winter in strips [i.e., creating pits that can capture water and prevent runoff). Where the pits are, they caught the rain of 2.4 inches and it was absorbed. A thick cover of annuals, mostly 6-weeks grama resulted, with some seedlings of perennials that were seeded following pitting. The strips not pitted are badly crusted and almost no water penetrated the soil. The area is almost bare. TX-48, 178.
