I'm still at crest or just below many of my ponds, in fact all of them. In previous seasons I'd be down 2-3 feet by now. I'd have to speculate many of my fire ponds are not going dry, and I am not going to lose 9 feet or more of water this season. Just a hunch.
I'd have to agree with you there. Our pond is at the highest level I've ever seen it and the spillway is still running like mad.
