it wouldn't draw down your pond unless the shallow well was at a point higher than the lowest (deepest) part of the pond. Like I said, I'm no expert but if the pond can hold the water and all your competing with is evaporation, once the pond is full maintaining it with a low flow well wouldn't be much of an issue since it is only 1.5 surface acres.
