I built a 30 foot deep pond in my backyard, and man it has been a nightmare. It will not hold water. Twice we have cut the back off of the dam, and dug a new core. Packed it with red Carolina clay, and it still doesn't hold water. We hit hard rock on one side, and cut a cliff straight down. Now we think it is losing water through the rock veins, which can't be fixed unless the sides are lined with concrete. I have more money invested than I will never admit. Such a mess, it is hard to believe. Now it has been almost 10 years, and it is still only about 2/3 full, even after pumping it full twice, and with this rainy spring, every pond in my area is full. Not mine, lol.
