I have a new 1.25 acre pond in southeast Louisiana dug 15 months ago. It almost filled but we had an extremely dry summer and fall so it dropped several feet. I talked to neighbors in the area and they tell me their ponds were at their lowest in decades so i don't feel too bad that it hasn't filled. I should be pretty close to full with recent and upcoming rains but I'm wondering if using well water to help control water depth is a viable option. I ran the numbers and I would have to run my pump for close to 12 hours to replace 1/4 inch of evaporation. Im willing to do that to maintain a consistent water level but am worried about water chemistry. Does anyone have any experience with this? I just stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, and red ear sunfish a month ago and don't want to do anything to cause problems.
