This little lake doesn't take that much water. Doesn't take as much as you think. Takes a lot sure but once you fill it up the first time, the water pumps kick on and keep it level and if takes less water than you'd think after that. For years and years and years. It's not deep bro. It's wide and not every deep. I have family that built one just like this in a barren desert also because it's the only logical place if you ask me. As odd as it sounds, it is. The deepest part in theirs is right in the middle and it's probably 5 feet deep or so. Once is filled the first time most of the water stays there and only a couple times a year does the water pumps kick on and top it off. It's not deep so it doesn't take that much water like you would think. They make it just deep enough for top quality professional water skiing. You can't high drive into it. If you dive into it head first you'll smash into the bottom. To kids it's great because maybe they can't touch the bottom in the very middle but I'm 6 feet tall and the one people in my family made that I visited 1 time, I can stand in the middle with my legs bent and my entire head above water.

Actually, these deserts were once all underwater. If everyone pitched in and did this everywhere, it wouldn't be a desert anymore and the deep water actually reaches a balance where it doesn't evaporate fast, but creates atmospheric conditions that cause it to rain more often. These deserts are actually a dried up lake bed.

The bank will loan you money for one of your ingenious ideas

If its South West Arizona and I was rich with 168 acres I’d build a pond and fill the low flooded areas with wild rice and the 2-3 main foods and flooded Timbers and put some actual crop at the one end outside the grasses like corn and soybean and just bushog the corn and soybean and border the left and right sides of that end with trees to kinda make it a bowl shape to the crop and wild rice and put a blind on the other side with some trees around it and bait in some Cinnamon Teals. It’d take years and years to get them in there as residents but I’m sure within a few seasons you could have migrates coming to your pond. With the abundance of food it’d be hard to pass up. But if I was super rich I’d just buy property in Mexico or Uruguay to hunt Cinnamon Teal, way more plentiful in Mexico and Argentina and Uruguay
