Another question regarding soil saturation..it appears on the dam side of a "dug out" pond, the soil is saturating way up the bank as compared to the other side where it is closer to the water line..what causes this to happen?

Jeff, could it be from wind action pushing waves onto that side??

The possibility that occurred to me was different soil conditions on the two sides.

The pond was lined with a better clay earlier this year...so of it could be some wave action, however, it sees to be going a lot further up the bank on that one side..and when the pond is at full pool, the one side will definitely have more soil saturated up the side..not sure if slope of the one side has anything to do with it as well...

My pond will wick out a lot higher in a less compacted area above the water line.

Have not turned pump off...still gaining though very slowly..will shut it off here in a week or two just see what happens..will keep you posted..I am about 8 inches from full pool of 10 feet..I am encouraged because I may not have to pump all the time once we get some rain down here in Texas..

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Hey Mike,
We have a 4.5 acre leaking pond. It is in compacted clay soil. The NRD is doing an engineering study on it now. It appears that the bottom of the pond is in the watertable and we think we lose our water into that ( because it stablizes at a low level). We are thinking about ESS-13- added directly to the water. I'd like to see some of your info or if anybody else has had some experience with this product- please let me know.
Brad
