Well I measured the depth of the water tonight, a bit disappointed.

The water depth was only 11 feet, not 14 like I had guessed.

The water level to the top of the basin stands at 34 inches. So at most, the depth would be maybe~12 feet with the water table at it�s height, and as low as 8 feet deep during the dry season.

The small pond was at the same depth, 12 feet.

I still have 1/3 of the large pond to dig, I guess I will have to spend more time chipping away at that glacial till if I want a spot that is deeper...
