To Adjust Depth and Capacity of the Pond

Add depth increments to adjust the pond capacity.

Adding slopes to your pond modifies its slope and general capacity. By default, the pond is created with two contours: the top and the bottom contour. The Pond Properties Dialog box allows you to add interior contours between the default ones. Existing slopes can be further edited for greater accuracy.
