The river level is currently higher though they will converge. Shortly after the convergence the pond level will be higher than the river. Of course, if there is a big enough rain event it can turn right back around. It is a very dynamic environment for a pit type pond with no man-made inlet or outlet. Life is Good on Bremer Pond!

Notice that the top of the level tube is even with the Dock/Ramp and Barge. Sometimes a design comes together, but only for a moment in time. $\:\)$ Life is Good on Bremer Pond!

Whenever he hears the Mule fire up he runs to the Tan Shuttle Craft (TSC). $\:\)$ Quote: Dwight: How long do you estimate that the pond will be at/over full pool? There are many variables that can affect the average full pool number so I have to answer:, " It depends". After the maximum level is reached, I will continue to monitor and observe the time it takes to get to a more average number. I am a monitoring and observing fool! My excuse is I only have to go about 100 feet to make it happen. $\:\)$ Life is Good on Bremer Pond!

If you recall that was part of the design criteria $\:D$ Quote: Dwight, do you have a reproducing population of GSH in your pond? I have never seen a Golden Shiner in the pond. I imagine if there were some at the very beginning they were decimated shortly after the link to the river was sealed. Life is Good on Bremer Pond!

Yes, it crested out here a few days ago, but it was quite a bit higher than the pond. Now the pond and the river are about the same and the rate of rise on the pond is slowing some.

With only a 1/2in depth increase in the past 48 hours I will now cease daily posting on this thread. It is just too boring for anyone but myself and perhaps a few other hardcores out there. Later on, I'll post the results of the trip back down hill to a more normal pond level. [u] Life is Good on Bremer Pond!
