New update..... Finally got some rain!!!!! Tuesday and Wednesday were awesome. .6" of rain on Tuesday got me about 2" more in the pond and Wednesday we got 1.2" and that got me almost 5" in the pond. We got a long way to go but its really nice to see some progress! I was stuck over a month at 75 inches but now I am at 7 foot and climbing. The rain has more than doubled the flow rate into the pond also so I should gain a little more each day now. I am measuring about 12 GPM now and actually went down to look what it was during a down pour and I was afraid to measure it. I think it would have ripped the bucket out of my hand... I'm guessing about 40-50 GPM but its just a guess. The 4" pipe was over 1/2 full.

I guess now the objective is to hold my higher level now instead of dropping. I am still looking for the best method to broadcast bentonite if anyone cares to share it.
