I live on the oregon coast where ponds flourish and you can grow almost anything!
My current water feature is under construction. It is a rebuild from the one destroyed when a tree fell on my aviary.
My rebuild will be a small pondless waterfall about 3 feet long and 1.5 feet wide that ends in a puddle at the end. The puddle will be 2'x2' and about 2" deep. The waterfall will be about 1" deep. It is the center feature for my new aviary and will be a bath and drinking water for the pigeans, quail, and chukar. I have a 120gph pump and filter for it so that the water stays good and clean for the birds.
My next endeavor is a fish pond, about 50 gallons at the smallest and mill be a waterfall that ends in a pond. It will be about 15" deep at it's deepest point which is just fine for around here. The lowest temperature is 15*F in the Winter and it very rarely even gets below 25*F. We get a slight frost on the water, never more than 1/2" of ice.
I have high hopes for both water features and I can't wait to get started on them. Just waiting for my pond liner to arrive.
