Impoundment Construction and Management (Episode 21)

This video will show you why you shouldn’t let anyone talk you into building an impoundment instead of a naturally appearing and functioning wetland! Wildlife Managers have been building the artificial impoundments since the 1930’s. I’ve personally designed and supervised the construction of over 1,500 impoundments across the United States and Canada in the past 47-years. This episode will show you how impoundments are constructed, and why the majority fail to hold water as planned. I’ve found that it is not possible to build an impoundment that does not require frequent and expensive maintenance. What you learn in this episode can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars, along with tons of embarrassment.
