Sunil, you are correct in your conclusion. She believed that the addition of a pond would cause her yard to flood, even though the natural flow of the water was maintained. I did not increase the watershed, nor did I divert water from any other place to increase the amount that entered my lot, which would increase the amount onto her lot. She is starting to build a dam (might eventually be a berm) across the location where the water flows from my lot onto hers. this berm will cause the water level on my lot to rise by about 2 feet, which will flood some major areas of my lot. My lot is pretty flat.

If you look at the pictures, the point where my dock is is slightly swamped when the pond is at max level and starting to flow over her lot. Another two feet would cause flooding to the woods.
