We just bought 34.5 acres in Limestone County. The property has a .8 acre pond on it. The neighbors are local (several generations), and have said that my pond has never been dry (going back at least 50 years). I've attached a topo map and a pic of the SE portion of the property where I want the new pond.
My goal (eventually) is to put a house on the property and then another, bigger, pond. I'd like 2-3 acres down on the SE part of the property.
There looks to be plenty of watershed to supply another pond. The SE part of the property is about 5ft below the level of the RR tracks, and my neighbors said "when it rains hard you have about 3ft of water on that end of your property." Don't know how much of that is hyperbole and how much is truth. Either way, I'm sure that lots of water moves in the direction of where I want the bigger pond.
Where do I start? Can you point me to someone who can give me some advice and help plan. I'm a minimum of 5yrs out, I'm sure.
