This freeze-proof, automatic waterer has a continuous flow of a very fine stream of water that prevents it from freezing.  The flow rate is adjustable so that more water will flow when it is colder, hence preventing freezing.  The outside is made from an 8 foot long by 2 foot diameter galvanized steel culvert with about 30 inches protruding above ground.  This contains a black rubber bowl that holds the water.  A drain back pipe under the bar across the top of the bowl allows excess water to drain into the culvert, which is filled with gravel.
