Doing a survey and part of it is showing the water rights of record; during the energy development in the area about 15-20 years ago, a company created a reservoir.
It wasn't very large in capacity, but the area plots out to 14+ acres.
The filing for the reservoir shows 14.1 acre feet (which looks about right) and it was originally filed on for fish propagation... I suppose if mosquitos and bull frogs are fish......
Before you can pull in the big lunkers you need to have the small fry first. Mosquitos are fish food.
That's not a pond. That's a mud hole.

Guessing it was a copy/paste thing from a previous job. Somehow it got approved.
Was involved with a dam design for a source of irrigation water on a dairy farm in 1979. The twenty-five year sediment loading was one acre-foot short of matching the design capacity of the dam. Something like 124 vs 123. That was 37 years ago. Someday I intend to visit that farm to see if I can walk across our pond.
