In the German army the upstream
water is used for drinking purposes
and the downstream water for water,
ing horses and for bathing. Suitable
signs notify the men which water is
safe to drink and which may be used
only for bathing. In shallow or narrow
streams basins are dug or small dams
built so as to form a reservoir OF ample
dimensions.
Stepping stones are provided to keep
the water clean. ms well as board pro-
