You need a pond liner. Found at any pool and pond store. Some larger nurseries carry pond supplies.
You need to purchase a heavy plastic liner to hold the water.
My 1800 gallon pond was dug out and shaped by me, and all the plumbing was installed. Then a fiberglass fabricator came in and lined everything with fiberglass. No leaks after almost 30 years!

There are liners you can get for that, either a formed plastic one, of you can dig it to the shape you want and use a rubber lining fabric.
By using a Butyl Liner. I would suggest you buy a Magazine on building a pond, or buy a book on the subject or maybe borrow from a Library, as you will need to keep referring to it as the project progresses.
You have to line the whole bottom of the hole with a rubber lining made for ponds. Or you could also use a pool liner.
