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

For this BB, you will build a full-sized pond that holds water without a liner (sealed bowl style)!

Minimum Requirements:
  - ¼ acre
  - at least 10 feet deep for half the footprint
  - dam is no taller than 8 feet
