Wow very nice Yury, Is this a farm in your area ? Did you help with the design or work with the crew?  It looks like there are several farms doing the same work.

That is pretty sweet the scope of the work is amazing!

Hilarious!  You're artists and it is a beautiful piece you have built there!

Looks like a really great project! I would be very interested in seeing some updates on it over the next few years!

This looks great !  Extremely promising !

If you could plant lots and lots of trees just as fast as you built the ponds, you would have all the elements for a paradise spot !

I note the waterlogging in the rectangular areas surrounded by berms.  I guess that the berms themselves contributed to the trapped water, in your flat landscape.  You could turn that into an intentional wetland...
