Thanks Keith for the excellent reply. As usual I'm aware of the concepts but
how I build, and apply to my land is what I'm looking for.
I'll check the Designer's Manual..it may be packed away GRR!
Your idea of a necklace of small ponds seems to me to be the way to go.
I'm also leery of using those dozers due to $$$ and destruction. Trying to
get the most bang for my buck:)
All the best. Frank
