I did some scouting around today on another lake that is built simliar in size to mine. This lake has as much water shed as mine OR LESS and it is almost FULL!

Secondly, I go behind the dam to check for leaks and it leaks MORE than MINE!!!

What gives? I am Baffeld by this....


There must be somthing more to this than water shed on a topo map. It has to be.... how does his pond stay full with similar contsruction, Similar water shed, and similar amount of seepag in the back of the dam??

So someone mentioned about the springs under the dam and how they can cause a back siphon to occure and cause the lake to loose water.... so when this happens does this mean this back siphon of water goes under the dam?

I am truely Baffeld here.
