Yes a pond built with a large watershed (large enough to create a creek, even a seasonal creek) has some serious dam and overflow handling capabilities to consider to handle the seasonal and weather event flows. Gets into a whole nuther ball game compared to a 1 to 3 acre regular pond.

Also can run into a lot of different permit issues with various acronym lettered agencies most people would rather not deal with once you start damming up something shat shows up as a blue line on official maps. Even if it is only seasonal flow.
