Uses for an empty swimming pool ?

[desertbirds]

My brother and i have just turned off our pool after this quaters power and water bill.We own two house blocks with a house,granny flat,large pool,lawns ect ect and we are over the bills.Any suggestions for a 9metre x 4.5 metre empty concrete pool.?? The bills have been steadily climbing (unlike wages) and $1600 for a quarter is getting beyond us.

people have converted swimming pools into aviaries before

Apart from an aviary, maybe a water tank?

Fill it with water and a rock bottom let the water age and grow Fish (The eating kind not the pretty kind)

Do you ride a skate board ? If its a bowl type it would be great for a board.
Maybe a fishpond ??

I had thought of that buzzard but how to keep it clean ect ect.I briefly went on the net and looked into aquaculture.Is it expensive to run and keep clean? The aviary idea is the obvious one but fish interest me too.

There are organic small scale options for water hi-gene DPI had a paper on it. As for the aviary abig one over the top solar powered waterfall lily's floating in ex pool, rocks around the edge, bbq area, planted. BEAUTIFUL

Partially fill it and breed yabbies for restaurants ...
Cut your losses and backfill it

Fill it with Jelly and charge locals to come and jelly wrestle .

Lid it and use it for rainwater storage .
