Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Water coming from side of hill next to pond

Best to do is like you did is post hole dig in the area you want to see about a well to fill the pond. Choose one of the holes that fill the fastest. I would use a back hoe and dig a french well deep as you dare but not deeper then your water level you want in the pond to be full pool. Fill the hole with 3/4" stone and 12"s from the top run a drain tile to your pond. Cover stone with soil felt cloth then cover with top soil and plant grass again.

Basically what will happen is the stone will be your well or res of water as the water pressure fills to the tile it will naturally drain to the pond. The stone well may hit the spring that is really under pressure and give you lots of good cool clean water. IT is hit or miss but if you hit gravel or sand your on the spot. The water veins on the ground are like branches in a tree. Some people say they can witch water, but my neighbor that drills well has never found it worth keeping a paid man on salary and guaranty water for an extra $20 per foot.

Cheers Don.
