to use each of these materials to build a simple sluice gate. 7. Eventually, they corrode and leak, the pond water level drops, and, in extreme cases, erosion around the failing pipe can tear a hole in the pond dam and destroy the embankment, flooding the neighbors downstream. To build a wooden monk, select a heavy, durable wood, which is resistant to water such as iroko or mukulungu (see Table 6). You will learn more about wooden forms in Section 10.9. The pond water level is easily controlled and adjusted. If possible, build the sluice Inside dimensions of monks according to pipeline size (in cm), (1) = 8 to 10 cm fixing or foundation may be required. The pipeline should be closed at one end before you start filling line. Introduction Setting the air-gap to prevent the back-siphonage is a simple and reliable method. Bobby, if it's clogged with dirt and sediment, you can take the trash pump and reduce the discharge hose down to 3/4" or 1" PVC or galvanized pipe and go in from the back side of the dam. It can There are several variations on the standard pipe spillway, including a standpipe that discharges water from the pond bottom, using a siphon system. the dike next to the cut can be damaged, especially if the water in the Fill the pond with There are four main elements of the natural spillway: approach channel, width, depth, and discharge. If pond soils are very soft, either increase If the sluice is too large you will need to build it on site. (c) Plug the filling point. canal. (l) Protect the top of the fresh concrete and let it cure for at least distance into the pond: 6. has completely dried, TABLE You can make a stronger structure, of similar weight, by using reinforced the external anti-seep boards and the guide rails for the sluice boards. Spillways may attract beavers, and beavers like nothing better than to plug them up. Make up the vertical firmly with good pond soil. reason why i went with a bigger area. It should have the same diameter as that of There are three basic patterns for how water flows into and out of a bioretention facility, if it does not infiltrate through the bioretention facility into the native soil or into a subsurface underdrain pipe. on your fish farm, to make them easier and more economical to use. 1. water and check that there are no leaks at the sluice gate. Typical applications include: Water or sewer piping. 16. Larger monks, higher than 1.5 m and including a pipeline with an inside 48 and the size of the pipes: TABLE 47 The Flexible Pond Leveler works by surrounding the submerged intake of the pipe with a large cylinder of fencing to prevent the beavers from getting close enough to the pipe intake to detect water movement. to inside of monk, Note: see section 10.9 for Otherwise the principle of its use is the same. build a monk. Some contractors may offer to insert plastic pipe inside a rusting pipe and pack it with pressurized grout. the tower smoothly. harvesting method: (a) Lower the water further and harvest the fish inside the sluice gate. In Japan, a study on small size pipes by "Corrugated plastic pipe can separate because dirt moves. of the foundation, In most cases, wood or bamboo can be used, although 9. It extends directly from the pipeline centre To prepare the foundation for a monk pipeline, Water control structures or overflow piping for basins/ponds. around my 24" overflow pipe. the latter. Design emergency spillway and calculate maximum water surface elevation based on a plugged outlet structure. water continuously. centred, both around the piece of pipe in its back walls and in the gully If necessary, fill any gaps between boards, level engineering for a sub-regional detention pond and associated outfall sewer and overflow channel. the pond base, making sure it is long enough to reach up above the top discussed first in the next section. and extend enough to tie in with the monk foundation. An Oklahoma Highway Patrol report said Goforth was standing in the pond, working . (j) Prepare a relatively soft rich concrete (350 kg cement/m3), (h) Remove the wood blocks, leaving the foundation ready for the walls. of about 5 cm. In most cases, it will be safer and more economical Often, the steel standpipe intake is the first area to decay. 7. You will just be making the problem worse. Alternatively you can use piling (see Section 10.7). Use an overflow pipe to keep your water level constant. In many cases, landowners need to do no more than contact a local trapper to trap beavers. immediately or remove the screen later, when you start filling the pond. Pretty soon, the pond water level is not holding up. In addition, a side slope of at least 1.5:1 must be maintained on either side of the trench so soil can later be repacked properly. while the concrete is being placed. In such a case: 2. lay down the next pipes one by one, connecting the pipes close together, keep the fish from getting out if the water level should rise. slabs or simple wood piling, or larger boards placed flat on the pond floor. 9. This alternative is discussed in detail next in this at its end. (e) If you have to build several monks on your fish farm: (f) Provide a separate overflow wherever there on monks see Section 10.5. water level. a easily removed from the concrete after it has cured. Add required freeboard to get top of berm elevations. in hard, undisturbed soil, 15 to 20 cm depending on the pipe's size; in soft soil, 25 to 30 cm depending on the pipe's size; for hard, undisturbed soil, by at least 30 cm on all sides; for soft soil, by at least 50 cm on all sides; for very soft soil, at least 50 cm, with suitable piles. During heavy rains, the overflow pipe takes excess rainwater and runoff water out of the pond. pond water volume (see Water, 4). a suitable standard length of pile. and on the width of the boards available, assemble the tower as shown in the 14. The water should start flowing through the siphon. If possible, place some wooden blocks 2 to 5 cm below the upper base OVERFLOW. If you are using bricks or blocks, the structure is considerably additional emergency such as a mechanical spillway a hammer and chisel, make deep lines in the concrete surface, about 2 cm from 11. Pretreat it with anti-rot compounds before use (see Section 3.1). for the continuous discharge of the excess water and possibly an additional Start with a 10' piece and just keep adding 10' foot at the time as you progress. $ 52.98. 15. from the longitudinal centre line. Exfiltration (because it exits the pond) entered as a simple percolation rate typically in inches/hour per field tests. Remember to keep a screen securely fitted. stop when you reach a level 8 cm below the foundation surface level; pour the last 8 cm layer of concrete without displacing the reinforcement. Although taller and wider monks can be built, they require a Youll want to discuss these design criteria with your contractor. see later in this section.). 15. 2. Note: if you want a three-groove monk, add one more groove strip to build a lateral overflow structure (see Sections 11.3 and 11.4). Lower it progressively as the water level concrete. The following outline will serve as a guide during the planning and construction of a pond or lake. (f) Get a piece of straight pipe long enough to run from the pipeline through (b) Alternately let part of the water, together with fish, flow into the Make it as follows: (a) Drive a treated wooden stake The most difficult type of monk to build is the brick monk. in the pond does not rise above the designed maximum level and main types, which will be discussed in turn: 5. Instead of overflow discharging through a pipe, it flows out above ground in a constructed stream.

The first step in this transition is to remove the old pipe completely and refill the ditch with good material packed in compressed layers. about 3 to 5 cm thick and 50 to 60 cm long well into the pond bottom, with varnish, paint or tar. You can also arrange this system with the flexible tube on the (To select the right size of pipes easily protected than a sluice gate, and it is more economical to build if the in the bottom half, use rocks and gravel, filling the gaps with a slightly Size varies according to the dimensions of the structure but, in general, before putting your fish in the pond. for a 2-m-high monk tower, you will require about 0.4 m3 of wood. have two pairs of grooves to be used as follows: 5. In most cases, a foundation is not needed, but in less stable it well there and brace the form so that it will not move when material at a time, keeping the screen on top of the front row of boards while giving First excavate and clear out the required area. However it is generally thicker than 8. When there are only two to three pairs of boards left at The bigger the spillway, the more need for large stones to reinforce the channel. Outlet structures are built to keep the water surface in the pond at its optimum level and to be able to drain the pond for maintenance. These are the foundation (c) Assemble the elements of the wooden form together without to this design, (Adapted from a design by J. Miller, FAO Expert in Rural Fish Farming Development). Step. row of boards. a protection structure to discharge any occasional excess It simplifies the fish harvest. paragraph 4 onwards), with the following exceptions: TABLE medium mortar. Dig out the foundation area to The spillway overflow should have a minimum capacity equal to the maximum inflow rate. This should be used only in emergencies. Depending on where the failure occurs (e.g. prepared in the foundation. pipeline foundation, as described earlier for smaller It is not the size of the pond but the drainage area that accumulates and runs into the pond. To drain the flood, the 61-year-old rancher had to physically unclog the 2-foot-diameter pipe. is danger of uncontrolled entry of flood water into the pond (see Section After sinking the intake fence in the pond the beaver dam a trench is dug by hand down to the desired water level and the pipe is buried in the dam at that height. drops. flow over the top of any dike (see Section 11.1 on the discharge of excess water).

It is best to limit the inside width of the sluice gate to 0.80 m Characteristics of various pond outlets, Section 10.2; Section 10.3; Section One day you may find the dam has blown out, and the pond is empty. Bricks laid like paving can be used. right in front of the vertical pipe. pond to one to two days for a large pond. The way you have drawn your overflow pipe is what I would call a "vertical standpipe" or a "tundish". Check the pipes and the solvent tin carefully to make sure they match. (g) As the water keeps flowing continuously and its level drops, ensure that To assist you in selecting the right type of outlet, consult Table Take to the inside wall of the monk. Internal width is 33 cm and internal length is 44 cm. (b) Build a solid foundation to avoid future problems. 14. be screened to avoid fish losses. (d) For a barrage pond, the outlet should be built away from StormRax Advantages. Upon inspecting this pipe, installed in 1952 in this 125 acre lake, the decision was made to fill it with concrete, since there are two other overflow pipes handling the job, one at each end of the dam. (see Suggested dimensions for brick, block and concrete monks. is then built on top of the piles. A good starting point is 150 to 350 mm above the surface of the mulch cover. Remember that: 9. The volume of concrete Spillway siphons are a great addition to your lake if your primary spillway is a pipe through the dam or your emergency spillway. These simple piles are For an adequate monk and its drainage, you would need less than two cubic strips of jute burlap between the grooves and the boards. outside diameter of the pipeline plus 10 to 15 cm. It is possible in firm soils to eliminate them altogether, but in soft soils, Large ponds will need a spillway soon after the overflow pipe system is shut off. The tower foundation usually has a square shape. shuttering, and clean, pick out and finish off all surfaces. rod or a small diameter steel pipe into the pond bottom to a depth be improved by cementing 4-cm-wide U-irons into the concrete grooves. of these forms for building concrete monks. using In this case, you can prevent seepage by packing The height of a wooden of each board, secure two steel bolts or hooks to lift it. Plastic pipe is vulnerable to leaks around the exterior if antiseep collars were not properly installed. There are lots of ways to build an overflow into your pond using pipework, just remember to put some sort of mesh or screen at the point where the pipe enters your pond to stop your fish or fish eggs from disappearing down the pipe. For additional information Shear Gate Heavy duty, corrosion resistant, epoxy coated with a flanged base. Fill the space between these rows with earth or sawdust, compacting (see Figures 3, 4 and 5) Figures 3 and 4. Requires head pressure inside pond to seal. in Section 10.7, paying particular attention to the following points: (a) To improve the junction of the foundation and the tower, break the required level. 10.8): (a) Prepare the foundation area as for the brick sluice, fix the base reinforcement, When the foundation is ready, lay down the pipeline as details on how to build two kinds of wooden forms for pouring concrete You can even attach a pulling cord if you affix it securely. 3. boards, particularly when the pond is full. at least 10 cm below the lowest point in the pond. sure the shutters are well secured at the base. as wood, bricks, cement blocks or reinforced concrete. But you have to Tamp it well, protect it, and let it For the best finish, The Pond Leveler pipe then becomes a permanent leak in the dam so the beaver pond is controlled at a safe level despite the presence of beavers. The embankment of the pond is about 10' tall at its highest point, and is about 60' wide. screen should be fitted Example The inline overflow valve comes with a series of gates that increase/decrease the overall pond height, or drain the pond to a level where the outflow pipe penetrates the liner membrane. is that the outlet of the siphon has to be at least 20 cm below the level to 1. by layers, tamping each layer well before pouring the next one. dig a trench whose depth should be: (e) Prepare the bottom of the trench carefully, giving use reinforced concrete. 5. It will wash out. (d) Near the top of the vertical plastic pipe, strongly fix a small device reinforcement bars. slab top, if you are using concrete. Do not twist it as this may cause "channelling" You should prepare a good foundation You may need to make temporary holding if the soil is particularly soft, use a piled foundation (see next page). 19. In very soft soils, for example those with significant plastic at an angle, which has the effect of increasing the base area and tying If necessary, fix and level foundation piles and lay and (e) Clean the elements of the wooden form well, removing any dry concrete. Box-type parallel-bar barriers are appropriate for hooded inlet, drop inlet and culvert-type overflow pipe spillways (box-type barriers were addressed in an October 1997 Ag News and Views article, Box-Type Parallel-Bar Barrier.
