Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Help Selling Water For Drilling Operations

Yes with a deep pond a thermocline will be established if no aeration is present. But, that allows the thermocline room to move up and down if the water level does the same, where in a shallow pond you might run out of water in dry times if the well won't support the pond. My well pumps 28 gpm, and with the sandy soil it is barely enough to keep the pond at one level, let alone fill it during low water times of the year. 50 to 100 gpm would be a whole lot better.

To replace one acre foot of water would take running a 20 gpm well 271 hours. (325851 gallons)
