Its a concrete plug. And it's solar powered, 1000 gph bilge pump will fill a tire in about 30 mins from empty., but rarely ever get's down more than a foot or so when they come to drink. That boggy area in the first pic isnt very deep, so I had an excavator dig down around 8 ft or so to capture more water, and keep it colder.

-12v battery
- charge controller
- 100 watt solar panel (over kill)
- 100 gph bilge pump
- sump pump float switch

Bilge pumps don't like a lot of lift though, 6 ft maybe or so is all I do. So the tires are parked next to the water holes anyways. If I have gravity to work with I'll just gravity feed the tires. That garden hose wasn't used long either, too restrictive. 3/4" tubing works much better, don't pump anymore length than you need to.
