A rare summer resident can boast of the proximity of a river or lake. Therefore, the maximum that he can afford is a well that feeds on groundwater..
However, this structure will not replace an open reservoir. In addition, it cannot be called universal, so in the hot season you will have nowhere to swim and admire the beautiful coastal vegetation..
Pond in the country — three in one (swimming, fishing and landscape decoration)
A barrel on supports is a useful and simple structure, however, it will not give you the opportunity to swim and dive, but only wash away the labor sweat after weeding the beds.
Another thing is a reservoir in the country, which can be used for three purposes at once: bathing, fish farming and decorating the site. If we consider that such a structure can be completely dug out by a mechanized method, then the direct benefit of this project will become clear..
No rings, no digging teams, no under-digging, no overpayment and no clean-ups. I ordered myself an excavator Belarus, explained to the driver where to throw the fertile layer, and where is the heavy loam and in two hours a deep hole of the required size is obtained on the site.
What you need to know to make a good body of water in the country?
When creating reservoirs in the country with your own hands, you must definitely study the hydrogeological conditions of your soils. Simply put, ask your neighbors how far from the ground they have water in the well and how low it drops during a drought. Without this, digging a relatively shallow hole (up to 2 meters) will be useless..
A deep reservoir in the country, dug with an excavator, will solve three important tasks at once: to accumulate a supply of water for irrigation, raise fish and create a comfortable area for recreation and swimming on the site
If a layer of water appears in it, then after the first warming it will evaporate, leaving you an unsightly sight of a bare bottom. Today, everyone tries to build a reservoir in the country, a photo of which is immediately laid out on the network, however, most of such structures are shallow decorative ponds that cannot live without additional recharge from a well or artesian well. In contrast, a deep water-saturated pond solves several problems:
Watering plants with warm heated water.
Water supply for construction.
Fish farming for recreational fishing.
Decorating the site and creating a recreation area.
If you do not have a building site yet, then a reservoir in the country will provide the necessary material for ecological construction, since most of the soils in summer cottages are clay or heavy loams. When mixed with straw, you get excellent warm adobe — the cheapest and cleanest material for building walls. So feel free to dig a deep pond, buy straw and use the excavated soil for the construction of suburban housing.
