That would be cost prohibitive for the average person.\n\nCreating a small Pond on your own property would cost you many 1000s of dollars.\n\nThere are too many challenges to list here at this time.\n\nHowever, The US Army Corp. of Engineers are experts in this area.\n\nTry this site first:\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=t&ie=UTF-8&rls=PCTA,PCTA:2006-41,PCTA:en&q=army+corp+of+engineers\n\nGood Luck

I think any local landscaping company could help you.  Everyone should get together to design it but then have the landscaper build and maintain it!  Or just hire someone to maintaine it....nature will maintain most of it!\nI think this is a really neat project...have fun!

stick of dynamite.\n\nOk, I was just being silly, the other two ideas are good.\nA third way might be to create a whirlpool in the water.  I guess you could consider that a hole as well.

any boat would work\nnon-pros dont need a big motor to race aroung a lake because they dont have a time limit\nthe bass dont really care what kind of boat your in\njust keep in mind if it is an all metal boat then put some old carpet on the floor to keep the noise level down because fish will 'spook' at sudden noises\ngood luck and good fishing

Start by looking for a lake!

for this u need special grade pure silicon.pieces of almost 2 square cm need to be linked by means of silver in order to prevent loss of energy.this arrangement should be erected in a place which receives maximum sunlight.

I would love to do this.  There are no lakes close by me though, but it sounds great!

Does every state have a lake to designate a state lake?

This is kind of like asking how many mountains are there, and then realizing you don't know how to distinguish a mountain from a mole hill. Until you can define how large a body of water makes a lake (are ponds lakes?), there is no definite answer. \n\nMinnesota is known as the land of 10,000 lakes, and yet some estimates put it at 15,000 lakes.  Here's a lake index for Minnesota: http://www.rook.org/earl/bwca/lakes/#Index\n\nIn order to ge a first order approximation for you, I ran a search on the USGS Place Names index and got an error message that the server was down. . They don't have it completed, so several states are still missing.  You might try a search on this place names index. using "lake" as your feature class , I also tried a search using Google Earth, and got only a handful of features. Obviously Google Earth is still being built.

Yes, a pond is great.... Put Koi fish in it. You will have a little bit of paradise.... I built a pond and everyone loves it!

A island is formed when underwater volcanoes erupt and cool rapidly building the hot magma onto the molten rock.  Eventually the rock keeps building upon itself and a island is risen after many years.

1. you need firstly to have a total density equivalent to that of fresh or salt water(for whatever purposed required)\nthen bouyancy will be stable/maintained \nthis will make a suitable start\n2. forge a shape suitable to make the sub hydrodynamic, this will enable the prototype to glige through the water \n3. have fun!

Probably not, but it will require engineering.  Without knowing more about what you are doing, it is difficult to answer.  \n\nAn engineer will have to specify how to build it.  It also depends on the loading (weight) you will be putting on it and the percentage of it that is live load or dead load.  This person will also be able to specify materials, sizes, etc. to achieve this.\n\nWhy did you put this in the geography section?  Try asking it again in engieering and it might be seen by more people that have expertise.
