Anyone with questions like this one I strongly suggest finding out if your area has a pond club and visit it. Reason being it gives you a ready resource of local people that might be willing to help with planning, design, building, growing, and emergencies.

Experienced ponders has one thing in common, after they have built their pond and got it set they all say I wish I have done that, or next time I will do this. Learn from their mistakes, visit their ponds if they let you, and if you can get someone to come over to help with site selection that will be great.

The best way to head off trouble is to look to those who has already experienced it. I wish I was given this advice when I started.

Also, be prepared to spend money. Short changing a foundation of any project will only lead to trouble.
