Ponds without liners....

I have a 17'x47' pond with only a clay lining and no orange water. The
clay was thoroughly compressed before filling the pond. Also, I covered
the clay with gravel so I can walk on it. I do not have turbulent flow.

Stephen -- What did you do to compress it and how deep is it?

We filled in a swimming pool with old concrete on the bottom covered by
2 feet of compacted clay. They drove a small Kubota backhoe over the
clay to compact it. The deep end was 8 ft deep and now it is 3.5 ft
deep at the deepest point. It is spring fed.
