Okay I think I am in trouble here. We have had some snow and it melted and the pond filled about half way and then drained about a day or two later. Not all the way but seems to hold at the deep end about at 2 ft. I did find a under ground stream, about a one inch hole that was about 1 ft under ground. I trenched it and have it running to the pond. Not much but when it rains it gushes. My question here is how long should I wait before I bring in reinforcements. I have a lot of clay around so I was thinking maybe have someone line it with clay and compact. When it was put in it was extremely dry and no compaction was done except by dozer. Some local people are telling me to wait two years. Don't want to wait that long if it is not gonna help. They old saying "wish I knew then what I knew now" It was dug end of August and it was slowly holding more and more but I mean slowly. Where it fills and drains I do get a mushy clay bottom. Any advice would be appreciated
