[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1819233, member: 40587"] Up in here, most ponds ( or lakes) are made by simply damming up the low part of a depression between hills. Maybe not even hills, but just slopes. You make them at the lowest part of where the water off of them drains to. Or dig them in area that has standing water after a rain. And it is pretty easy to dig one that holds water good in this red clay. But a lot are made by damning a stream, or building up around an underground spring where it surfaces. Size is what people go by in determining if it is a pond or a lake. If spring or stream fed, if it is an acre or less we call it a pond. Anything bigger is called a lake. A real estate ad might say the property has a 1/2 acre pond, or a 3 acre lake. [/QUOTE]
