We had several ponds on our property in the dry tropics which were seasonal, and used to charge the aquifer and water livestock and wildlife. We added local Nothobranchius fish (killifish) which lay eggs in the mud, and these hatch when the ponds refill, these controlled mosquitoes, and were a food source for kingfishers herons etc, as well as some human consumption. Once the small fish were established, we added larger lung fish which provided a larger fish and a better food source for humans - only allowed to be fished in the wet summer, and no digging them out during the dry period, so as to maintain the population.

People often think we in the Netherlands are fighting against water, but actually we’ve been working with water for the longest time. Along the major rivers are flat areas which flood almost every year, 50 to a 100+ metres from the dyke. Rivers need space to expand. You can’t stop flooding, but you can control which parts flood. Large ponds also play an important role in that. If rivers overflow, or rainfall is too much, excess water is led towards swampy areas or ponds/lakes through a large amount of irrigation. Technology definitely helps, but in the end you need to give water room. Work with the water, not against it.

I remembered that we collected water from one of the ponds during the dry season each year, until the mid-80s when the drought lasted more than 4 years.

This was pretty much a video version of basic parts of the old USDA publication #590 for basic pond building. Both of these are sufficient for an irrigation pond. There was one glaring exception which is the root of the demise of most of these ponds in that there was no discussion about preventing siltation which fills most ponds within a few decades. You do not want to incur the expense of dredging since it usually costs more than the original construction.

Absolutely excellent walkthrough! Nice drawing work!

Such a fantastic video, I did a degree in water engineering and PhD in waste water treatment. I'm building a series of ponds/lakes soon so I found your approach here interesting. It's great to listen to a genius speaking.

This pretty much sums the basic ideas very clearly and informatively! I've only built one relatively small pond myself yet and another was already on my land. Oh, mistakes were made of course but nothing that could not be turned into a feature if not advantage. Both ponds are without any liner, placed on a highest part of the plot close to each other. It allowed us to perform maintenance without water losses since we simply pumped excess water to neighboring pond. It also helped to quickly stabilize chemical and bio water balance, allowing much quicker introduction of aquatic plants because usually you have to wait a year at the very least beforr introducing fish or flora to a newly filled pond. Anyway - great vid!

For the how part, I highly recomend a bulldozer over any other type of heavy machinery, they can move more soil farther and faster then any excavator or backhoe. The bigger the dozer, the better. The main reason is the distance the material needs to be moved. Even when compared to an excavator and a dump truck, a lone bulldozer can do a better, faster and cheaper pond then any other earth mover out there. Certainly excavators have their place in dredging and such to renovate a pond but for the initial dig, a bulldozer can't be beat.

I have been searching and searching for something like this video… thank you!!

Ive never heard of the concept "permaculture". I must say, im fascinated! I`ll going to implement this on the farm!

Wow. Halfway through the video and I subbed. Difficult to find good permaculture content creators. Wonderful presentation style and life-changing information if one is about to build a pond. Thank you very much.

this is a very good content, i'm very happy to found your channel, your learning so much! I from brasil and i work with permaculture here in south of brasil, i'm a architect that designs ecological houses and landscape. thank you, congrats for your work!

I grew up playing in a ravine in the woods behind my parents house in northeast Ohio. We'd spend our days catching crayfish, salamanders and frogs in the slow meandering stream, and swinging across it on a rope swing that hung from a big old ash tree. In the winters we'd foolishly slide one by one across the icy pond daring each other to cross without cracking the ice and soaking our boots. It was an idyllic place to be as a young boy. Later as a teenager, some new neighbors a few houses over had the county game warden come in and trap the beavers who were active (very active) downstream. I went back there later in my college years and nothing was the same. The creek had mostly dried up and grown over, there were no more aquatic creatures to found. The ponds were no longer. Somewhat symbolically, the branch on which the rope swing had hung for so long had come crashing down. I had an epiphany that my entire childhood experience was informed by the terraforming activity of that family of beavers. It was their home and creation, probably for many, many generations, and we were just visiting, enjoying the fruits of their tireless labor. So if you should see a beaver dam and pond, please leave them alone. So much life depends on them.

Your videos are great stuff. Invaluable info, well communicated. Thanks!

❤love your channel Explained so clear and simple. No nonsense!!! Really happy to follow ❤

I definitely like the windmill and the high pond or cistern thing. I always liked the spring-fed, always-full ponds the best. But you gotta get pretty lucky to get that. But there's so much that you can do by making small changes to the landscape that improve matters.

A wealth of knowledge. Plan to construct two ponds in Kenya and this has been extremely useful.

Thank you for the wealth of knowledge, I only hope someday I can put it to use myself

Appreciate your knowledge as well as the presentation and production values. Really well done.

Thank you, I am planning on building 2 ponds on my property this yr. Good information

Chef kiss 🧑‍🍳 for being able to write all this backwards 🤯 well done sir 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 And very interesting video 💕

Precious. Thank you and greetings from Portugal.

This is a super well put together video, thank you for sharing you knowledge!

I'm more impressed with the editing more than anything.

This type of presentation is remarkable! Good work, keep on educating!
