If a site on a creek is the best as far as the most cost efficient location to get the biggest bang for your buck but has to big a water shed for pond size then one might consider building on the creek with a diversion channel to let the large runoffs route around it. Install a pipe with valve or a control gate to feed the pond as needed. Of course that has cost too that would have to be considered. These are discussed in the pond building hand books.
