Integrated Water Harvesting Earthworks, Restoring Ecosystems with Permaculture Design

This video shows the pond construction process for the pond we designed as part of the Permaculture Institute of North America's Permaculture Design Contest in 2018.

I have a pond in my backyard it doesn't really have the best soil makeup for holding water but it still had enough water for frog and tadpoles the whole summer it was low but didn't go completely dry it slowly drains over a few months but by the time it finally dries out its the end of September and usually fills right back up when we get rain in November and December and the process starts all over again
Great video by the way

Would like to see a follow up on this project and some impacts its produced. Thank you

That's a good idea. We haven't made a video specifically about this, but you can see the pond in the background of this video: ua-cam.com/video/o5y7-qa-2qg/v-deo.htmlsi=vVybYcLeZOYmEQwI
In general, it has become a great habitat and community gathering space. We've seen bats, several species of frogs, and birds using the the pond.
