| Hey Tim,
| The way our pond is designed it fills with the run off from the
property.
| The whole place 'funnels' down to the pond.
| If it didn't there wouldn't be any water in the pond. ;¬(

| | Kate,
| |
| | Sounds like a great plan! Just one caution, where the water naturally
| runs
| | is not always the best place to put your pond or stream - generally
you
| do
| | not want runoff going into your system, it brings with it dirty water,
| | debris and any minerals, chemicals, etc. that it's picked up along the
| way.
| | You can still use the slope, but I wouldn't make your streambed be in
| the
| | same place as the natural runoff. With a long stream, you could put
in
| lots
| | of plants as a veggie filter to help keep your water in great shape.
| |
| | Happy Ponding!

| | Having too much time on ones hands to work out in the 'yard' makes
the
| | imagination run amok with ideas for making the whole place look like
a
| | wooded wonderland.
| |
| | Having the pocketbook of a retiree, makes one's imagination often
come
| to
| | a
| | screaming, frustrated halt in nothing short.
| |
| | I have been looking at my place and thinking that I would like a
| little
| | stream. There is no natural running water but if it were to run from
| up
| by
| | the house to the pond (call it 200 yards as a rough guess) it has an
| | already
| | natural pathway from where the rain runoff travels.
| |
| | If you do a stream, do you have to do filters and all of that?
| | Are the pumps expensive to purchase and operate?
| | What are the real ups and downs of manmade streams?
| | Do you think it feasible with the distance I am dreaming of?
| | Are they terribly involved to build or can you just dig a ditch, put
| some
| | rocks in to prevent erosion and turn it on?
| |
| | Thanks folks for hearing my stupid questions and not throwing me in
| the
| | pond.
