what type of soil would be best to add to the bottom of a constructed pond, where the goal is to have as little leakage of water as possible?

Mostly Clay would be best to add to the bottom of a constructed pond, where the goal is to have as little leakage of water as possible.The soil where a pond is located will regulate the water retention, drainage, and overall color and purity of the water. If there will be fish or plants grown in the pond, the acidity of the water will also be affected by the makeup of the surrounding soil. The very small, tightly packed particles that make up clay compress effectively to store water without losing a lot of it to drainage. However, because these particles are so minute, they float in water for a longer period of time, making the water appear murkier or darker.An earth-bottomed pond's ideal soil should have at least 30% clay in order to offer the right density and compaction for water retention that is as easy to maintain as possible while yet supporting healthy water that enables enough sunshine to penetrate the depths to sustain aquatic life.The complete question is, "What type of soil would be ebst for a man-made pond, where the goal is to have as little leakage of water as possible?a. mostly clayb. mostly siltc. mostly sandd. equal amounts of sand, silt, & claye.
