Seepage spring, what to do?

Hi, I have a small five acre parcel with a seepage spring all along the top. At all times of the year the water runs down onto the flatter portion of property at the bottom and creates a very marshy type condition and then funnels together into a small pond and off the property from there. Would berms work to move the water across the property and give better spaces to grow? I still want to feed the pond, but at the moment there is too much water.

Yo may want to slow the water, allow it to soak in over the full area of your property.

I heard Geoff Lawton describe something that may be similar about a property that essentially used a series of swales to allow some of the water to soak in, but a the end of swales they built a small pond and then interconnected the series of swales making a path for water to continue to move downhill through the entire system to a larger pond at the bottom of the property. I actually believe this was originally designed by Bill Mollison (Tagari Farm?). Others more familiar with those details might pipe up here.

However, without knowing a lot more about the property and conditions and geography and what your goals are for the overall property, it's hard to give specific ideas.

I've attached a rendering of Tagari Farm to this message. It may or may not be helpful.

Essentially the water table level is right at the surface all over your property not just at the top. You are going to have to get some soil that is maybe 18 inches and place it over the existing soil, that way you will have "wet flooded walkway" and "dry hill" to plant on.

Where will this extra soil come from, good question.
It will come from the walkway.

Digging out the flooded walkway will also channel the water and slightly lover the water table.

And if you "dump" all the water to one side of the property then, you can create a stream there, which will empty the water faster than it can seep out of the ground potentially making the "flooded walkway" also dry.
