Water Gardening: Do you have or recommend a BOTTOM DRAIN in your pond?, 1 by TexasLizzy

NOte - if you put a bottom drain in - you need to treat it as pool and put at least two in. The reason being is that you don't want your fish or worse, a fallen child to get sucked by only having one drain. Two drains for pools (if not more depending on size) had been part of building code for a long time. When we built our pond (which we use for personal use until we get our 'real' pool built) was modeled as a smaller mini version of a pool. Very similar to Fredrumps' pic above.
