Ezylman,
I agree it can't flow up hill.
I'm just not sure where this seepage "layer" originates from that is currently providing water to the pond.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it could be a continuos plane/layer going far away from the pond and subsequently carry water away with it when the pond tries to overcome this elevation. I don't seem to have water entering on the opposite slope (north side of pond) so who knows.
I probably still have a month or 2 before I'll know unless we get a real gully washer of a storm that puts some water in. Otherwsie it's just steady as she goes with the 2 - 2.5 gpm from the pipe.
