My in-laws had a natural spring on their house lot they owned years ago. FIL had built a small concrete formed damn - about a foot or two in height and about 10 feet across, mayb 6-8" wide. He had a small "spillway" right in the middle. Placed large rocks at the base on the spring side. They had a small water fountain pump that ran continuously in the center, and in the summer, he would hook up a garden hose to the pump and water the lawn. The entire pond was about 100 sq ft (10 x 10).
