structure: A pool of water formed by a dam or pit, to supply water for livestock, wildlife, and to control gully erosion. how it works: A typical farm structure is formed by building a dam across an existing gully or low lying area. Earth for the dam is dug out above the dam with heavy machinery to form a bowl. Generally the ponded area fills with water within a year. An overflow pipe is installed through the dam to control the water level and allow water to spill through the dam without causing erosion. Why do we care about water impoundment? 1. Impoundment increases local water resource stocks. 2. Dams modify hydrographs- moderate flow variations. 3. Dams trap sediment- fill reservoir, starve coast. 4. Surface reservoirs evaporate- less total flow to coast. 5. Reservoirs support different biota than rivers. 6. Reservoirs add to oxygenation capacity - decompose wastes. 7. New impoundment ameliorates sea level rise!

Yes, the largemouth bass has been stocked in many impoundments there, and is thriving.
Why evaporation is better than boiling to obtain salt from sea water?
If you can evaporate the water to leave the salt residue, you may be expending less energy that if you do that by boiling. This would be especially true if you use natural evaporation from ponds or similar impoundments. Then you are letting the sun do the work for you.
Do minnows live in streams?
