Any good resources for learning how to make ponds?


I’ve never been able to find a good book or other source of information on designing and building ponds.

It seems like there would be some very important calculations required to build ponds safely, plus a lot of other information on pond design.

Should it be deep? How deep? How quickly to transition from deep to shallow? Icing in the winter and fish hibernating? To use a continuous pump and filter, or not? Feed the fish?

Capturing runoff. Is it enough to keep it filled without a well source? Proper way to tap a natural spring?

Liners or not? Liner materials?

Is there a good book on pond details and design, especially for permaculture or agricultural ponds rather than small koi and garden ponds?

and other water control earthworks?
