[QUOTE="puppet, post: 9281510, member: 25962"] We made a pond/wetland without any concrete or leaky containers. Attached a vertical pipe to the outfall pipe using a right angle joint and anchored in a sump of stones. Water spills over the top to maintain level. Materials cost nothing, just had to dig to find the drain. Would be easy to make a few holes lower down to act as an attenuation pipe and lower the water level until it rains. However 75m2 is going to fill pretty quickly in heavy rain. If you are just doing it for nature can be quite shallow to allow waders or ducks to feed below with a small deeper area to prevent winter freezing. Gentle slowing banks to allow them to climb out.
