I'm planning to dam up a live stream bed here in sandy East Texas that will probably create a 1-2 acre pond. I will be meeting with a guy next week who has a small crew with dozers, backhoes, etc. I'm sure he will have suggestions but I wonder if an automatic siphon design is what you guys would recommend or is a spillway ok? The stream flows a constant 20" wide by 2" deep. I'm glad I found this forum because I know next to nothing about ponds.

Strongly consider buying the excellent pond builder book Just Add Water by renownded pond builder Mike Otto. Any one of the many pieces of information will save you lots of money and grief later if the pond is not built correctly to the point the next flood washes out the dam that will rapidly drain the pond.

If the stream is a blue line stream on any map, you might not be allowed to dam it. Check with your counties NRCS office about the pond placement to see if it's OK, NOT the Army Core of Engineers.
