If you have aggregate of value (like gravel) on your land you may be able to trade gravel for water. That is how our 5 acre pond was crafted.
The "Company" wanted our gravel and we wanted a pond so we made up a contract. It took 10 years to finish the project (the time frame was stated in the contract as well as the average depth, shape, etc.....).
If this approach works for you, your job during the project is waiting. The "Company" has to do everything else including the paper work, permits and etc.
