Neither of the ponds have liners. With the water table being so high, any liner would be floating. When I dug test holes where the new pond addition is, I hit water 3 to 4 feet below the surface. It is what fills the two ponds. I decided to line the stream, for I didn't want to waste the water soaking into the ground before making it to the ponds. It also helped in pumping water year round so the stream would not stagnate.
