essential in determining how effective and efficient the fishpond will be in supplying quality water‚ nutrients and air to the fishes. Some of the things that should determine which location you choose to erect a fishpond includes water supply‚ the topography of the site and soil characteristics. In terms of water supply‚ the fishpond site must be situated in a location where there is constant water supply throughout the year and must be not less than three meters deep. It is important that the main

1. SURFACE RUNOFF INTRODUCTION: Runoff means the draining or flowing off of precipitation from a catchment area through a surface channel enters into a stream channel. It is convenient to visualize three main routes of travel; overland flow (air hujan limpahanpermukaan)‚ interflow‚ and ground water flow (air dari punca bawah tanah). 1 Runoff results from rainfall occurrence in a hydrologic catchment. Rainfall-runoff relations are Interflow/subsurface and base flow/groundwater flow
