Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Landowner water rights

In Ohio (to the best of my knowledge) the main restriction on what you can do to flowing water on your property is that you can't change where it leaves or enters the property. So you can put in a pond, but the overflow must leave the property the same place the water did before (at least when the overflow is running). Then there are maximum size limits for building a pond without a permit.

Of course, what you really need is Alabama info.
