It looks extremely green there, and I seem to see some irrigation pipes. The grass beyond the fence is also rather lush and green for a dry location. Montana is quite far north, so not especially evaporative compared to, for instance, my latitude.
We discuss the latitude issue in this thread: https://permies.com/t/12150/hugelkultur/hugelkultur-hot-arid-climate

has been demonstrated to work in deserts as well as backyards"
