Pls @op, how are you draining the waste water from your pond?
The waste water are going to an underground drainage.It is advisable to do the drainage while you are sinking your borehole, it is cheaper that way, I only gave them 20k for it.

From these pics you will see how the outlets are linked to the drainage.

What size of ponds? How was it constructed that it is leaking?Give me details
Size is 12ft by 10ft. It was constructed like yours exactly expect for the reinforcement part. It wasn't reinforced at the corners. It was just filleted.

If you'll be educating me, I think it's the tarpaulin pond you should detail me with. A concrete pond will take long time to complete and cost more.
I'll so much appreciate OP.

Thank You so much.
Very little peeps can do what you're doing

I am sorry about what happened to you, those pillars at the four edges are what will keep the ponds together. Leakages happen at the edges.They can loose those edges board it with iron rod and cast it, you won't experience leakages anymore.
But if you decide to use tarpaulin ponds,it is OK.

Am interested in fish farming, but still a green horn.
Pls do you have to remove the fishes to another pond, for the chicken bones to be scooped out,(while draining the water)?
No. u don't need to. just ensure that the water outlet is well blocked such that no fish will escape along with the dirty water. we use metal net to cover the outlet while draining the water. merci .

Catfish are more rugged in nature and can withstand stress condition than any other specie of fish.
Moreso u don't need to completely drain all the water before u can pack the carcass of left over feed the fishes were given. 30 minutes is ok to quickly drain the water and pump in fresh one though they can stay longer without water if the atmospheric temperature is low (no hot sun ) or when they are in earthen ponds.

Just tell them it is drainage for fish pond, there is no dimension. I fit in a 6 inches pipe into the hole.

Good move op. congratulations and may God crown your efforts with success.
I have a full plot of land, fenced all round with a big gate. If I can see a few people interested in partnering, we can use the place for any number of ponds we desire.

Underground drainage is environmentally wrong as you are polluting underground water. Some with a nearby borehole may just have his water contaminated and may be drinking this water.
