The first photo shows on stream 'delta' on the left and just a glimpse of the pond's 'elbow' on the lower right. The planting areas on either side of the 'delta' are 12" deep pockets filled with commercial topsoil.
The second photo shows the pond basin. On the left side can be seen the planting area that is filled with topsoil. Just above that in the photo is the constructed wetlands filter.
The pond basin is 33 feet long and 12 feet at its widest point. It does not have shelves but rather levels of approximately identical lengths in an attempt to mimic the contours of a natural pond. The shallowest has a depth of 10", next deepest a depth of 18" and the deepest section is 3 feet. these is another section that can't be seen in the photo that begins under the bridge and extends another 10 ft to the right. This section is also 10" deep. The pond has two (2) skimmers, one located lower left, out of the photo, and another upper right also out of the photo. The lower left skimmer is dedicated strictly to the constructed wetlands and the remaining skimmer is dedicated to the waterfall.
The third photo is looking upstream toward the waterfall. Pictured in this photo, though not clearly seem, is, at bottom of the photo one of the settlement areas which includes a central topsoil filled planting area; both stream beds. The one on the left has slow water velocity, two (2) settlement basins and a topsoil filled planting area. The stream bed on the right incorporates a steeper grade giving a higher water velocity. It contains a settlement basin and a topsoiled fill planting area.
The fourth photo presents a better image of the left side stream and the 'token' waterfall.
More to come.
