The pond should be built to a depth of 2 to 5m and should have a detention time of 3 to 20 days. To prevent leaching, the pond should have a liner. The liner can be clay, asphalt, compacted earth, or another impervious material. Using the fill that is excavated, a protective berm should be built around the pond to protect it from runoff and erosion.
