Zoeconner, my pond is the lowest it's ever been right now. We've been had very little rain the last half of summer and so far this fall. I have about 8 acres of watershed and my pond loses 2' or more in drought conditions. If you are simply counting on what little bit of rain falls in the pond and immediately around your house, I suspect you're going to have ongoing problems. I suggest you get your county's soil and water department out there to give you an assessment. It's usually free and they can provide you with some useful info about watershed and soil types at the least.
