At the place we are building, we have a nice site for a small pond. Went to the local farm office and they calulated out that we have a area of our property that drains about a 12 acres. Already a dry gulch there, which gets very wet when we get some rain. (last few years we have been in a drought) Yet there is still water in the gulch, maybe a spring there.
Anyway, while I have my loader, giving thought to digging the area out, and building a dam etc etc.. Pond would be about 1/4 acre.
My question, we have good surface water here, about 20' below via a point well. Thinking about driving a point well, and installing a wind pump to supply additional water to the pond. We are on a hill, get a breeze most mornings and evenings. Anybody have eperience with these? Anybody built one themsleves? Thought this might be a fun project.
