Davatsa, all good points. Guess I've over-simplified the law a little with my assumptions (yes, I know about assumptions). Think I'll call those friends tomorrow.
Great idea on the outflow pipe and screened box Cecil. If I have the water rights, I think I'll give that a try. We had spotty storms in our area last night. 5 miles to the west got 3.5". We had a meager .5". Amazing. Finishing a pond is a surefire way to start a drought!
