Pond in farm. Need Dimension, prevention ofLeakage - 02/23/17 11:29 AM
Hi,
I am new bee to the forum. I live in southern part of India.
I have around 15 acres of farm, for which I would like to build a pond. I went through internet and understood to certain extent. However, I would love to get inputs from you.
I am not really interested to use plastic covers for leakage prevention.
My reasons for the pond are
# To store the water in rainy season and use it if required in summer season.
# To increase the ground water.
# To grow fish and ducks.
I have following questions:
# An estimated size of the pond. Height, width & depth.
# To get out of the leakage, how much clay has to be used to cover.
# Is there any other natural solutions to prevent the water loss (leakage).
Regards
