Making a pond from a gully
First, I'm new to this group. If this post is better placed somewhere else,
please let me know. I have a "V" shaped gully in my slightly sloped wooded backyard with an apparent VERY SMALL spring of constant water running through the bottom of it. I'd like to "dam-up" this gully and make a pond - ideally with water feed from this apparent spring. Here's my questions: 1. What do I do about a liner ? Should I put one big liner in the hole ? Should the liner cover the water source ? Should I cut a hole in the liner over the small water source ? Should I try to lay several pieces in the hole to reduce percolation to increase water level ? 2. What water level overall can I expect ? The "V" gully is about 3 vertical feet deep and has a very small water flow. Is the current vertical level of the flow the highest I can ever expect ? If I line portions of this gully - can I realistically expect the hole to fill (and sustain filled) a level 3 feet higher than the current level ? There's something here to do with the hydrostatic level of the source - which I don't know and am interested in suggestions on how to test. Thanks !!!! |
