    Bit of a tip, next time you need to drain an area with a high capacity pump, lay down and stake about 10 metres of heavy duty plastic sheet. Set the pipe discharge 1 or 2 metres on to the sheet. The discharge water will spread on the plastic reducing its velocity and energy, reducing the damage to sensitive areas downstream. In the past we used the construction plastic, came in rolls total width was 3 or 4 metres. Worked a treat reducing erosion. Once finished, folded, rolled and removed, no fuss, no worries.

      The top soil sure runs deep in this area. It’s going to take years to get the water level back. Hope nothing was damaged down stream from the surge of water. The fish kill could have been done with a chemical that suffocates the fish. When the fish float to the surface they can be revived by placing them quickly in a tank of fresh water. We had a pond on land we recently purchased that we did this to. We filled several stock tanks with pond water just encase there were fish we wanted save. Good thing was the pond had very few fish in it.

    When I used to work for a construction/demolition company we were called out to drain a pond no less than 5 times bigger in size than that little 2 acre pond.
    Not only was there invasive fish in it but there was also other issues. We were not allowed to let the invasive fish also reach any other waterways. And we had the similar idea to just trench into a canal system some distance away as also a small creek.
    The hard part was figuring out keeping the fish from getting to the canal and creek while we drain it
    My boss really didn't trust anyone.. for anything.. but I convinced him the best way was to dig the channel at an angle that left the side reaching the canal and creek just above it by a foot or so and line the entire thing with plastic.weigh it down with some rocks and use a heavy wire like horseshoe shaped to steak deep into the ground where they need to overlap plastic.This eliminated all erosion period. We used erosion control barriers to slow the water flow as it hits the out put areas.
    I cut sections of smaller wire guage panels staggered in the trench as to work like a filter and grating system to keep fish from getting out into the canal ..they had to pass so may grate areas they most likely would never get that far.
    Being the end spilled over into the canal and creek like a small spillway ..flat and leve, fanned out and shallow.. slightly raised..you could see that no fish ever got that far.
    Once drained almost completely, we used pumps for the rest and we had fish and game come collect the invasive fish..the non invasive went into barrels we had ready...to keep them alive. Once emptied we did a clean up..did repairs on walls and made extended liners down into the pond to prevent erosion and any possible future too much saturation and other soil issues like soil luquification. Lines it all up with boulders to help weight things down and also to make environment for the fish.. natural habitat areas.
    Before we filled the trench in we dropped in piping for future reference if needed. Being it ended just before the pond and the liners we played down led to it..we just overlayed them and used them like a giant plug and covered them up and that was it.. the pond liner prevents any water reaching the plug are anyway.. it took us a few days because the pond was massive..

    Thanks for sharing. A beautiful location for raising a family. Draining and starting over is a great way to control invasive fish species. They don't live if there is no water. It also allows time to perform maintenance on the pond itself. Bottom and sides be cleared of debris, a permanent drain line installed in trench, and drain control valve.
    Looks like you have planted trees along property line to form a windbreak. The riprap to control erosion on sides of pond is really beautiful looking rock. And hand placement of the rocks really shows your talent.

      They didn't want to save the fish. They wanted to get rid of the fish, the fish was a CARP and they can be very hazardous to other fish.

    Nice drainage! But I don’t understand why you’ve ruined the garden instead of using the pump from the start. I hope you’ll get the pond back and a lot of fish. 😃

    Here in the US you would need a permit from the town, a permit from the Agricultural Society, a permit from the Save the fish Society and permits from a bunch more societies. They would have to make sure nothing is endangered and if it is, NO PERMIT.
    Meanwhile, a few miles down the road, there is a clogged culvert and someones house is floating away.
