and cheaply?

Read these webpages for good information about ponds - built well usually saves
money.

Also is there such a thing as a battery
operated pump for the pond?

Do a web search for solar powered fountains.

Or a pond without a pump that
doesn't attract mosquitoes?

Best for mosquitoes is a fountain and a few goldfish OR you can use Mosquito
Dunks, found locally in many places or ordered from the web.
