Hi everyone! I'm sure this has been answered many times however besides being new to the forum, I am also an idiot when it comes to pond management, I am so happy to have found this site.
Here is my problem, I have several ponds that are collectively 3-4 acres, each pond was dug years ago as gravel pits, and my Dad just stocked them, the problem is, they are drainage problems that I just don't know where to turn. It rains and the ponds overflow into each other and over the years a lot of erosion has occurred. No overflow pipes,spillways or anything, what do I do, please advise. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to PB. The question is what would you like to do with them. In order to give useful advice we need to know more info. Pics or a topo would help.

How well do they hold water?
There are a lot of ways to stop erosion but like ewest said we need more info.
