 Pond Dams Built Right (Pictorial Version)

There is nothing more pleasing that a well maintained and functioning pond dam.  For livestock, recreation or both.  On the other hand, one that is leaking, pipe or spillway washed out, has the opposite affect.  In addition, unreliable for its intended purpose.  This slideshow illustrates many of the key elements that make for a "Pond Dam Built Right."

If you already have a pond dam and having problems there are several pages on this website that will help with solutions.
