Recommendation:
Not Innovative

Comment:

It is difficult to determine what is proposed and how it will be evaluated, but it appears to focus on the use of portable solar-powered pumps to provide off-channel water for livestock. This is not innovative. Solar pumps, coupled with fencing, have been in use for a decade and are commonplace in the Columbia Basin. The only hint of innovation might be that the pumps would be portable.
