Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Building a dam Building our pond in NE Missouri.

Thanks for the info guys. I've got to quit worrying so much. Ha
My youngest son has a environmental science degree, with a emphasis in water resource management. He read through the paper on alum treatment. I think he's used alum before in a internship he did a few years ago. He's going to grab some stuff from the lab he works at now and get a baseline ph on the pond.
I guess it'll be good to know the starting point.

I'm sure we will get enough rain in the next few months to bring it to capacity.
After talking with Rex, I think I'm going to try and run some kind of aeration system. Not sure how much capability I'll need. I'll have to run tubing a few hundred yards from my barn to the pond. May look at running elec out next summer.
