ELKO -- Bureau of Land Management employees are toting water to wild horses in Northern Nevada to make up for a shortage of spring water.

The Elko Daily Free Press reported the federal agency is bringing water twice weekly to herds in the Cherry Springs area that are targeted for a wild horse roundup next week.

Agency officials said the land does not support the current population of wild horses and hundreds of the animals in Elko and White Pine counties need to be moved.

A pending lawsuit seeks to halt the wild horse roundup.
