[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 303736, member: 1963"] Man-made ponds actually require a LOT of care. Think fish tanks with natural bottoms made of sediment, etc., over synthetic liners. You will need at least one pump and weir filter to circulate the water and if you are planning on keeping fish, will need more specialized equipment. Foster and Smith have an excellent pond catalogue that includes tips on upkeep and design. You calculate the gallonage using circumferance and depth. I can't remember the algorithm used, but the website should have it. If you have a stagnant pond periodically overflowing onto your property you have a health hazard that you need to address with your neighbor` [/QUOTE]
