  • WINTER CONSIDERATIONS Ice Formation, Freezing Index, and Frost Penetration
    Livestock Watering Order No. 590.307-1 January 2006 WINTER CONSIDERATIONS Ice Formation, Freezing Index, and Frost Penetration This Factsheet outlines winter considerations of on-farm livestock water sources and water systems. Ground Water Frost protection for ground water systems is usually for the water line from the well. The use of pitless adapters provides for a frost-free connection between the well and the buried line. Refer to Factsheet #590.303-2, Accessing Ground Water Sources. Surface Water Intakes in surface water such as springs, creeks and lakes must be designed for ice conditions if the watering systems are to be used year around. In still water, freezing occurs at the air/water surface, and sheet ice forms. In turbulent water, where cold air is mixed in with the water, ice can form at any depth and is called frazil ice. During freezing, water increases in volume by percent and decreases in density by a similar amount, and therefore the resulting ice floats. It is this volume change that often causes damage to intake structures, directly or through soil upheaval. Water is at its greatest density at 4 degrees C, water at higher or lower temperatures is lighter. This can be used to advantage in systems drawing water from still ponds or lakes. While ice may have formed on the surface, warmer water (4 degrees C vs ice at 0 degrees C) has settled to the bottom of the pond. If this warmer water can be circulated to the surface, ice can be prevented from forming in a small area.
