Next in the series I show the finished swale with dam. I talk about the water levels and the importance of the spillway. I show how to lay out your water lines for putting the topsoil back. I then show the installation of the culverts going under the road.

Next up in this series I build the swale to push some better clay into the keyway under the dam. I discuss how to keep your survey flags in place while digging the pond, the importance of freeboard and having a properly designed spillway. Then the dam wall begins to take shape.
