Another question please

NR, the ponds are new, I dug them this year, and so far haven't required any maintenance at all. They are not a drinking water resource, we intend to keep ducks and geese. They are not deep enough for carp, they are shallow enough for pond weed to grow all across the bottom, which will help feed the ducks. In an emergency I can breach the side and allow the water to flow down to the bottom field, I need to get a tap system installed.

The 2700 litre container collects rainwater directly from the barn roof ( actually only from a quarter of it as there are downpipes at each corner, three of which are currently unused ), the overflow from the 2700l is piped to IBC containers and I move the hose manually from one to another to empty and refill them. I could do with an automated system, especially when I get some more IBCs.
