Constructing a pond, part 1:
Digging begins - using the clay based soil excavated from the interior to build up the pond's walls. All digging is done by hand!!!! | |
The walls are now complete, gently sloped to avoid accidents and make harvesting easier. | |
Dams are frequently built to raise the rain-induced water level. | |
Here a channel is being dug - to transport water from the dam to the pond. |
