THIS WILL BE A MASSIVE UNDERTAKING!!!

In the picture above you can see on the top is how it looks now, and on the bottom the red shows where the dam will be. It will need to be 6 to 7 ft tall (2 meters) and about 20 ft long (7 meters). I am going to make it out of stone of course, as I am very good at building things with it. Also, it will make a very strong dam that I will not have to worry about erosion.

ALREADY STARTED

Last night I began the work by clearing the center ravine out of all logs, trees, branches, and leaves. I then dug down until I hit clay, and built a trough.

My next step is to build a sandbag dam above where I will build the permanent dam. I will have a flexible too that comes out from it to divert the water away from where I'm building. After that is completed, I will be able to begin digging the footing. It needs to be 3 ft wide by 3 ft deep (1 meter by 1 meter) and as long as the damn will be as well, so about 21 ft.

Then we'll begin the fun of being able to place stones and build the dam. I am imagining it will take close to a month to build.(Which means it will really take 3.😂🤣😂) But once completed, we will have the ability to grow and farm fish, along with increasing our total electric gathering. I am hopeful to add 100-200 percent more power generation then we gather from the solar panels alone.
