Avoid ground water from entering our koi pond

When designing your koi pond you must consider avoiding placing your pond in a low area that will allow ground water from entering it.

The koi pond edge should always be higher than the surrounding terrain. For instance, run off from rain or sprinklers that have made contact with chemicals, fertilizers...etc. is a death sentence for your koi and aquatic life.
