Hi,
on my property, a small stream starts. it is very narrow and shallow, but continuous year round. no fish or anything live in it because it is so small.
at one point it diverges in half into two even smaller streams, then joins back together.
I want to build a pond where frogs and fish can live. Would it be possible to build a pond with one of the casts from homedepot in the middle of one of the smaller parts where the stream divides? the point of this is so that new water would flow into the pond, and then out the other side and continue unhindered, but the current would not be so strong as to flush out the inhabitants of the pond. I do not want any electrical equipment or filters, i want a natural pond. would this idea work? i hope the constant flow of new water would act as an aerator and filter by flushing out waste.
any input, comments,or ideas?
thanks
