Take what I have to say as coming from someone that has a ground water pond. What the ground gives (in the form of water) the ground can also take away. My pond is 60" below full pool because of fluctuating ground water levels. In taking temp readings this year, I am seeing no temp increase in the lower water levels of the pond like previous years, probably due to the low ground water levels. In the spring of the year I can dig 3' and hit water.....
