My dad recently had an existing pond on their place dug bigger and deeper. The pond is currently about 60 yards longs, 30 yards wide, and about 12 feet deep in the center. Well after he pumped it full of water it started leaking. We aren't sure if it is leaking from the side, the bottom, or both places. Any recommendations on how to remedy this? Thanks!

I know a man who dug a tank, then lined it with construction plastic. You know, the thick heavy black rolls of plastic sheeting. He just overlapped the edges about a foot on all sides and then put dirt on top to hold it all down. Then he sprayed the dirt down and drove his tractor (Cat wheel loader) over it several times to pack the mud. That tank has held water when every other tank in the county was dry. Lots of moss and algae though, he needs ducks.

I KNOW the bentonite will do it too. You can do it with water in it, but I understand it takes twice as much.
