Construction of ponds
Land marking
After the land is cleared off then the land is to be marked for the construction of various farm elements as per the layout planning. This operation involves laying out the features of ponds on the ground in order to mark out the area from where the earth will have to be cut or removed, and also where earth will have to be embanked. Initially lines are drawn according to the layout followed by pegging and fixing stakes or posts. Strings are stretched between the top of pegs and posts to mark the complete profile of the dyke with its correct height, width and slope. Dry white lime powder is used to show the positions of various farm elements like dykes, channels and ponds which are to be constructed. It is called as staking.
