Pond Specialist
The Pond Specialist: The Essential Guide to Designing,
Building, Improving and Maintaining Ponds and Water
Features (Specialist Series)
This book is nothing less than essential for those of
us embarking on designing and building our own ponds.
If like me you have zero knowledge of the field and
are clueless as to the difference between types of pond,
butyl liners versus rigid liners, pond plants, fish
and how water features actually work, then this book
will be your bible.
Imagine
building a waterfall, romantic fountain, or beautiful
pond in your own backyard.

The
Pond Book
The Pond Book: A Complete Guide to Site Planning,
Design and Management of Small Lakes and Ponds
Ponds, when properly managed, enhance a property. Ponds
provide an environment for fish, recreational entertainment
through swimming or boating, a satisfying wildlife habitat,
and higher real estate value to any rural property.
Written for the serious layperson, The Pond Book explores
the wide variety of pond ecosystems available, and their
function; topographic and soil requirements, design
and construction techniques, wildlife management, fish
species and their cultivation, local bylaws affecting
pond maintenance, algae and plant control, parasite
problems, chemical and physical parameters of water
sources, and water control / erosion devices.

Managing
Lakes and Reservoirs
Managing Lakes and Reservoirs
Understandable and useful, Managing Lakes and Reservoirs
addresses the enormous amount of information on lake
management that has developed in the decade since the
publication of the manual’s first two editions (Lake
and Reservoir Restoration Guidance Manual, 1988 and
1990).
The first two manuals dealt primarily with restoration
of lakes, but this third edition moves beyond restoration
issues to focus on ongoing management of lakes and processes
that communities of citizens, policymakers, scientists,
and enforcement agencies can use to achieve desired
outcomes for their local lakes.
