For some time now I've been enjoying the pictures that all of you have added to the forum. The pond construction pictures absolutely amaze me because the process appears to be so different between south Louisiana and other areas of the country. I've got to admit, if I had a choice I would definitely choose somewhere other than southern LA to construct a pond. As you all know, we live on silt that has been deposited from the Mississippi River over thousands of years. The land is extremely low in comparison to sea level, and thus the water table is not very deep. All of this contributes to the method used for "digging" ponds in this area. I see plenty pictures that ya'll post and your construction sites look extremely clean and dry. This is definitely not the case here. Here's some pictures of my small pond that were taken over the last couple years.
Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield.
