| May 6 at 19:08 | comment | added | crip659 | The bedrock might be the reason. Depending on the shape, there might be a dip in the centre where water can collect, but not flow to the pit. They get the bedrock somewhat flat and use gravel to flatten it off. | |

| May 6 at 18:51 | comment | added | Mark | @isherwood, do you mean a long cut (.e.g. with concrete saw) can decreaae hydrolic pressure? | |
| May 6 at 18:50 | comment | added | Mark | @crip659, yes I cut concrete, scooped out the gravel, and also had to break bed rock down below, to the depth of basin. | |
| May 6 at 18:10 | comment | added | isherwood | Your question is rather vague. Any number of solutions would do the job, including a simple surface cut. Please revise to ask something more specific. | |
