Just thought it was worth repeating, good thought Bruce.
Following on RPI's comments, it would be good to know both upstream and downstream neighbors (maybe I've missed some story in here) but work together to make that little creek allow everybody to have their pond and eat it too. If the creek flows year round, upstream pond will fill, and yours will too, just may take a while.
