I just had a new 1/2 acre pond put in. I hit no springs and since it went in 2 weeks ago no rain. The soil is extremely clay so when we got rain here last night I couldn't wait to see how much was in the pond. This morning it looked like a decent about bout then 3hr later it went down a foot. Now the clay and soil was exteremly dry. Is this common when the first water hits the pond? Does the soil need to get saturated first? Just getting a little nervous...thanks
