Hi!
I've been lurking on the forum for a while now trying to get as much information as I can about building a pond on my 80 acre farm in TN.
Choices for a site on the property are very limited by the terrain. The farm is basically a hollow with a blue line stream surrounded by steep ridges. On the plus side, the watershed is huge-far more than I need for the 3/4 acre pond.
TN regulations prohibit damming a blue line stream, so the water will be supplied by diverting the flow, and by rain water.
My biggest hurdle right now is power supply. I want to build a waterfall for aesthetics and aeration but I'm not having much luck finding a solar charged battery powered pump that will do the job.
I'll post this problem/question in the appropriate section of the forum, but if anybody has a solution, please reply.
In the meantime, I'm looking forward to being a more active forum member.
Thanks,
Phil Hopkins

Phil.

I am looking for someone in the area as well. I'm in Jonesborough. Let's keep each other updated if either of us finds someone.

Phil and Brian,

What is the scope of your projects? How much water do you want to lift? How high? How many hours a day?

Without stating your goals, I doubt anyone can point you in the right direction.

Also, are you the type that can install systems like this or are you expecting a "turn key" system?

Thx Brian and your right of course. I posted a synopsis in my new member introduction post. I would appreciate any thoughts.
