The topography where you want to build your farm pond must be right. It is very important to choose a location where the water can be easily locked away. One ideal place to build a farm pond is the site where there is a constructed dam slanting over the constricted part within the steep dale. You should be able to know where your water supply will be coming. The water supply must not be too much so it may come from springs, or wells, etc. Also, the farm pond must be big and can sustain the level of water during the dry months. The soil should be able to hold water so that it will not seep back under the earth. It must be dense and the best soil is the clay (sandy, muddy, or sedimentary). Inspect carefully the soil or your farm pond will fail.
