Large Shallow Pond Aeration. The wind can usually mix the surface waters down to 4-6ft with 6"-12" waves esp on larger bodies of water such as the one you are building.

Are you sure you only want the water 4 ft deep over most of the pond. Sounds like you are making one HUGE weedbed with weeds so thick you won't be able to get a boat thru. You better get a second or third opinion before finishing this potential problem. I would email Bob Lusk or Mark McD. for a professional opinion on building a pond in the deep Texas area. He's da man. Listen to his advise. Ask M. Mcdonald (PBoss editor) for Bob's email address.
