Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Selecting a site 10 Acre Pond..Please Help

Another thing about water table ponds. The sides don't need to be built up like ponds that will be trapping surface run-off. If they are, all that will do is make it a longer walk down to the water. That might also figure in the slope ratio of the bank. (WT pond vs. dammed pond) If it is a WT pond, the landowner will have to down the slope to the pond depending on how low the WT is during the year. If it is a WT pond, how much does the WT vary from spring to fall? That's how much the pond level will vary, and it might be difficult to establish vegetation on the banks.
