We're on heavy clay, and are right next to the sea so there's pressure from the sea on ground water levels.
The garden is often waterlogged, so I'm trying to think of ways to provide some relief. Thought a pond would create more space for water, as it takes out sand/clay and makes more room for water to flow there, and away from the surrounding area. Is this an idea that is worth exploring? Or will the effect be minimal?
There's also a borehole within approx. 4 -5m of where I want to locate the pond, which is collecting data to see if future development can take place in this area.
Would the pond affect the borehole data (by moving water away from the borehole), which I definitely don't want to happen.
