We purchased a 22 acre farm in eastern PA. It's half wooded and half pasture. I can envision a .5-1 acre pond being put in, but there are some major obstacles. No existing water (aside from an old well) and almost no ability for run off (the property is very level). Logic says this would be an uphill battle, but I would love for this to work out. According to Google, we get an average of 41 inches of rain here in PA, but that doesn't help all that much if there's no acreage draining into it. During the summer months I would have to rely on a well pump to avoid drastic changes in water levels I'd imagaine. What are your thoughts? What details can I provide to be able to hear your opinion on the matter?
