Ive been reading around on the internet, and finding that this seems
to be the place to post a question :-)

We've got about 10 acres of land where we live, and we'd like to
consider making a pond. Size is of course determined on expense, and
the other typical factors involved.

My initial question I would ask, is, we happen to have ground on what
you might call a limestone base. We've dug down say 15 feet already,
just to see what would happen, and after a rain of a couple inches,
the water is gone in no time.

Is there some material a person can use to stop "seeping"?

Someone had suggested trying to find some type of clay, but I'd like
to get some opintions before we do anything else.

Hi Doc,

Depends, how big a pond are you planning to build? Under standard swimming
pool size you will probably want to go with a liner. Bigger, bentonite clay
is what you need to do some research on. I know in Koiphen.com someone had
a thread going about building koi mud ponds. Bentonite is what they use in
those. Your county extension office should be able to help you out also.
