I have a seep above the pond that is always wet and muddy which produces a slow trickle into the pond, above the seep, maybe 100 yards and across the road is an artesian well which flows all year and this seep is in the same line going down towards the pond. I'd like to develop the seep into a spring if possible. Does anyone know the technique for 'encouraging' a seep to become a spring? The well across the road is on an undeveloped piece of land and if it stopped flowing because I developed the seep on my land into a spring no-one would mind. Is it just a matter of digging a hole and lining it with stone or is there a special technique? This is a very cold spring and pictures of rainbow trout are dancing in my head. Any thoughts?
