Nov 29, 2011 at 20:47 comment added hunter Just a followup. I was able to build the pond and install a french drain for overflow. This Spring I'm going to redo the pond with some nice cut stone blocks but for the most part she's doing what I wanted.
May 14, 2011 at 14:24 comment added BMitch I wouldn't want the leech bed close to the pond structure (but I would want a French drain there). Instead, place the leech field/drain field away from the spring/pond so that you even out the moisture levels in the yard. I've updated my answer with a few relevant links to give you some more ideas.

May 14, 2011 at 12:37 comment added hunter Thank you for this information. It's hard to describe my situation but the flooded area is very large. I know containing it in a pond isn't going to solve the problem and I like the idea of the overflow into a french drain. Do you think it's possible surround the pond structure with a leech bed?

May 13, 2011 at 2:58 comment added BMitch @allindal: Not to mention you included a link to some other good answers. I vote that you leave it even if my answer is chosen.
May 13, 2011 at 1:29 comment added allindal @B I realize my answer is the same, but its also simpler and more direct. I'll delete it if your answer is chosen.
