Water problem in dry weather

Our other farm is supplied by 2 private water supply’s from tanks in field . Only one tank has the height to supply cattle sheds other one does house only ( nobody lives there) the tank supplying sheds can’t keep up with demands from cattle so currently filling ibc off other supply and putting in other tank but still not getting in too if it. All this is because of dry January. What can I do to get water in that tank easier ? The tank actually supply’s a little cottage there too which nobody is there and water off at minute but they sometimes do come other wise I was thinking of rinsing out tanker and sitting it up the field but not if somebody could drink it.

As said above put a bore hole in and bigger tank so you have enough stored up for a few days. That way if solar can’t keep up because of dull days your still covered. Make sure you can hook it to a gen set too just in case won’t be a cheap option thou.
