I have some experience in fish farming but yes not much.

This isn't necessarily new to me as in I have wanted to do this for a very long time and it's been something I've been researching constantly for years.

I will look into getting a consultant but the way I do things as with everything in life I like to know how things work like getting electrics done in my house I paid an electrician but I understud everything he was doing.

I want to be able to atleast start a design for my self with ideas to go to the consultant with.

The same as when designing a house to build. I want to design it myself so I learn a bit about architecture and I'll go to an architect after. Otherwise I'd be getting an architect to make thousands of designs before I pick one I like.


The fast flowing water I believe from the way I understand it would be a good concept as it will provide proper aeration along with beautiful scenery and produce healthier fish from swimming in the current. I could use the same amount of electricity on several pumps to aerate each individual pond system.

Maybe I am wrong and using small fountains on still water ponds would be more efficient and I'm happy to be told I am wrong.

Im looking into efficient ways to aerate water or create flow

It could be possible to create the "creek/river" entirely on contour so the water flow never has to rise which is more efficient to pump too

Does anyone on here recommend any good consultants on this sort of thing in north east UK?

Thanks

Also if I had topography with hills etc would I be able to create fast flowing streams without pumps?

Surely that would only be possible with constant non stop rain?

The north facing slope was more about the trees I would plant on the land such as nut trees, fruit trees etc.


Unfortunately I can't move away from this area of the UK due to personal reasons - needing to be within travel distance of the mother in law as she is ill so I have to make do.

I have no problem with installing water pumps and moving the land I will put the effort in and do the work if need be.

I just struggle to do the actual design I just can't see it in my head the way I want to.

Also I can't seem to find water pumps that can pump a high enough volume of water to create artficial stream like systems and also what about soil erosion due to faster flowing water? What about tree roots hitting the river bed and causing leakage? Would I have enough rainfall to retain water?

I have so many questions and hours and hours of research a day just isn't leaving a dent in the amount of questions I have

Hi I'm here looking for some help with starting my project.

I'm struggling to find decent land where I am in the UK as the area I need to be in all the land is practically as flat as you can imagine and the small slopes I do see are north facing.

would it be possible for me to create hillsides and move the earth to whatever position or shape I want?

Ideally I want to use some electrical power to create water flows in my system so I can farm a large number of fish within the system and I can't find examples of farms that include fish farming so I am struggling to imagine how it would look.

Any help or input from any one here would be great

Thanks
