This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the iron badge in earthworks.

For this BB, you will create a full size pond that is based on a dam reaching bedrock, rather than a sealed bowl!


(source: Little House Permaculture)

Minimum Requirements:
  - test wells to understand underlying geology
  - dam might need to go 60 feet deep
  - dam might need to be more than 1000 feet long

To get certified for this BB, provide proof of the following as pictures of a video (<2 mins):
  - the site you're starting with
  - equipment and materials at the build site
  - test well(s)
  - partway through building the dam
  - completed full size pond that is based on a dam reaching bedrock, rather than a sealed bowl
