Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Putting a pond in with no direct water source

We are on a small farm in eastern PA. I’d love to put a pond in but one of the necessities- water- isn’t exactly present on our land. We have it available to us in the form of rain and run off from our property. Is this even a feasible option to consider? We also have a well that would be near the pond site, but I’m a bit leery to even consider that was a water source. The positive is that where I am considering the pond is in fact a low lying area that does have some water held a few months out of the year.

All mine gets is run off.

A pond with an island creates more shoreline. Shorelines is where all the weeds and algae grow. An island in a pond creates a need for more aeration diffusers because water movement cannot go to the other side of the island.
