YOu have given this much thought but
1. you need to determine watershed acres.
2. based on this determine based on rainfall the avg stated n the area nrcs should know this per watershed to surface acre.
3. I would use the pump to maybe offset evap but not depened on it as source of filling the pond.
$. Once you have doable acres define your goals based ont he acres you sustain for the pond.
