Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Selecting a site Pond Site?

My part of SE NE receives 29" annually, and the NRCS rough formula is 33 acre watershed for 1 acre pond average depth wholly dependent on precipitation. I think you could manage a 1.5-1.75 acre pond easily based on the precipitation numbers and supplemental irrigation - maybe push it to 2 acres. Depending on your goals it may make sense to create 3 half acre ponds, mini ponds are easier to manage and you can establish different fisheries. You could even create a few forage cells as well which are a big help.
