Do some checking to make sure you're not going to do expensive work with not so good results. It is possible you may have a larger "pond" but a smaller and more shallow body of water. Good luck and hope yo can improve your pond. Bob-O


Good advice. I dug a test hole 3 years ago to monitor the water level at the pond site. During the driest part of the summers the level only dropped about 18". I also have a small river that flows by the pond site within about 100' that I believe helps support the water level. Currently the pond is about 8 feet deep.
