hello, I live on an 30+ year old pond, we added aeration last year & have seen an improvement in water clarity.
During heavy rains you can see the silt runoff enter the pond. there is a ditch system that meanders through some homes that channel water runoff from a neighboring horse farm. any ideas on what could be done to stop the silt? the people who live next to the ditches would be a problem for any major project to stop the silt. I thought about a fence cage filled with gravel placed in the ditch. any ideas?
