Should his pond be drainable or seinable? Which is preferable?

It would be nice to have them drainable. Personally I prefer to have power at the pond and pump with a sump pump.
HOw steep should his sides be? Will vertical sides slide in or cave in?.

It depends on the soil on how steep one can make it. A liner would allow you to go pretty steep though even with sandy soils.

It their an optimum depth for the basin?.

I'd say 8 feet or so.
Is 1/10 acre ponds adequate for his spring water flow rate?

Yes!



If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
