I didn't know a pond needed a "watershed".


I planned to just dig a hole in the ground and wait for it to fill with ground and rain water.

There is a creek that runs along the back of my property but it doesn't flow too much and I'm not sure the parish will allow me to cut into it.

Is it necessary to have a "watershed"?
