The schematic was made based on a schematic seen in episode 3 of "Edwardian Farm" (http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2010/10_october/14/edwardian_farm3.shtml ), and after studying http://www.lakelandgov.net/publicworks/lakes/lhwrstp.html , http://ag.arizona.edu/azaqua/extension/BMPs/Final_EPA.html (Recirculating Trout Farm Design) The boxes are made of wood, and are made waterproof by means of pitch (pine resin). The water coming in would need have been well aerated first (ie by waterfalls). Also the boxes would typically above the water (they shouldn't be submerged, ...); instead they are simply placed between a river (watersource) and a lake, ...
