These reservoirs can be made one marla for one acre.We are also pondering on having such ponds with fish or prown in them.Presence of a circulating pump let the fish stay active and consume more food ,resulting in early and healthy fish.

- Great idea! Now a days I am trying to make a small integrated farm on 10 acres, where i made water ponds (reservoirs) covered with polytheene. I will also use the same for water ways... Thanks for the idea and permission to do....... PERMISSION GRANTED!!!

- We are also recycling dung in bio gas.The water ways get a lot of weeds in it.In this way we can reduce the maintenance cost along with water conservation.
