FishinRod I really like the idea about stacking ponds to get cleaner water. one question though, how do you manage the sediment buildup in the top pond? Some great things to chew on in your post, thanks

I think I will keep the ponds on the smaller side partly because I'm not a millionaire and I think a big dam would be expensive.

The contour interval at that distance was 40 ft. It's google maps and that was zoomed in to z=15

esshup I'm not sure how I'd go about diverting the creeks with such big hills. I think I could get the lower branch of the central creek to divert to the southern creek but not shur how I would do it with the other branch. But yes that is a concern of mine. Once I get there I'll have a closer look and see how feasible it looks.
