pond...to prevent loss of water on farm through evaporation , eventual
drainage to creek. I'll only be using a relatively small portion of the
spring abundance. Eventually I'd lie to have several small ponds
strategically placed for watering cattle, small scale field irrigation,
habitat etc.

How large were those ponds you constructed? Glad to have people with such
expertise commenting. It will keep the romantics grounded in reality. he he
