Building farm ponds has become phenomena within aquaculture industry. They range from single purpose ponds to multipurpose ponds based on the needs for building the ponds. Some of the common uses for these ponds include fish farming, water reservoir purposes, irrigation purposes and recreation purposes.
The essentials in the design and construction of farm ponds are:
· Adequate water source: The area where the pond is constructed should have bountiful supply of water either it be overland drainage, ground water, in stream flowing water or diverted water flow. The reliable source for supply of water in the pond is an essential determination at the design stage.
· Proper Drainage Area: When designing the pond there are aspects to put into consideration like the measurements, runoff volume and evaporation rate. Selecting the proper area will facilitate fertilization of the pond and minimize the water loss from evaporation.
· Determining the type of soil in the area is a precondition to building farm ponds. Areas with impermeable soils are the ones suitable for farm ponds since they minimize to the maximum or prevent the rate of water seeping downward which has an impact on maintaining the suitable water level.
