Large Pond question

How do you keep water in a large pond (say 80'X30'X6'). Would I line it
with clay?

We bought 40 acres with 4 seasonal ponds. We would love it if all the
ponds held water a bit longer. I think there is a enough rain to keep
them topped, but we may have to provide other sources of water as well.

Thanks again

Carl
