I'd scrub with a scrub brush and throw some clorox on it to get out any
organics. Cement doesn't like to stick to cement so the cleaner you can get
it the better.

Go to home depot and buy a product called "Thoroseal". It's what zoos
use.
It's located in thier "putty" section. Like where the plaster of paris
is.
I'd pressure wash at 3000PSI (yes 3000) first so that you get a good
seal.

Er, we have a hose. It's of the garden variety. And that's it. Is that
enough?

It's in the garden of the local pub. There's been a leak for
months/years, but only occasionally. We refill the pond and forget
about it. Now it's almost emptying every day. I put talcum powder on
the surface to see if it would be pulled to one side, illustrating the
whereabouts of the leak. several hours later, the pond had gone down
loads and the talc had stayed in exactly the same place. This leads me
to assume that the leak is smack dab on the bottom. Could any kind
souls advise me on a) how I can find the leak, b) how I can fix it and
c) what to keep the handful of fish in while I'm mending the pond?

There is only one war, and it's not the rich against the poor,
the blacks against the whites, the Federation against the Borg,
or the Democrats versus the Republicans. It's those of us who
aren't complete idiots against those of us who are.
