Q : How do I decide where to place my pond ?

A : Placement is a very important decision. Choose an open space that receives 
no more than 6 hours of direct sun. The space should be away from large 

trees and shrubs
 so as to avoid excessive amounts of falling debris. There should 
be access to a water source and electricity. The electricity should be a heavy 
duty multiple outlet box with a 'ground fault interrupter 'on its own breaker.
You may need to power a
pump along with a floating heater and possibly a 
UV sterilizer if you get too much sun. The location should also be aesthetically 
pleasing and easy to dig. There should be NO sharp points on the
 inner surfaces of the hole (roots. slate and shale or old construction debris etc.) 
 even if you use an
underlayment.. You will need someplace to pile the dirt 
coming out of the hole. Typically this mound becomes some form of 

water spillway
which is heavily planted to prevent erosion.
