Beautiful landscaping design ideas: garden ponds and reservoirs! 80 examples!

Any body of water is always eye-catching. Many landscape designers advise, if possible, not to abandon the idea of ​​building a pond in the country.
In order to choose the optimal location for the pond, you need to consider a number of important points.

– The ratio of the size of the site and the size of the reservoir, the area of ​​which should not exceed 3% of the total area.
– The degree of illumination. For an artificial pond, it is optimal if direct sunlight will warm it no more than 4–5 hours a day. Otherwise, in addition to the fact that the water will evaporate quickly enough, it will create a favorable environment for the development of microorganisms.
– Landscape. Competent use of the existing relief can greatly facilitate the construction of the reservoir.
– Soil type and depth of groundwater. It depends on whether there will be a need to strengthen the pond, its maximum possible depth, as well as the degree of complexity of the work when arranging the structure.
– Space around. Leave yourself a lot of space to expand or change the design of your pond in the country.
– The ability to see the reservoir from different points of the site. Especially from those places where you usually rest.
