I'm still searching for land to build my lake on. My uncle who's got the list of up coming properties for auction found me a property in west TN 63 acre. Looks to be most farmed land with a small creek on a corner. Average rain fall is 53".
Looking to make a 40 acre lake on site. Average 7ft depth. Property contains 3 large pole barns each 10,000sq+. Was thinking I could use gutter funnels to lake. Would also plan on adding in a well on site. What other ways could I get water to maintain lake with such a small amount of run off? Has anyone ever put some water proof fabric under the grass layer to increase run off?

Thanks
