With a couple of good storms my pond is almost 50% full. There is still this leak at the base of the dam. The first hole above the puddle is full of water, the next one has water and the top 2 have moist clay.

The water from the base of the dam goes underground and resurfaces a couple of times until I get this flow just before the water empties into a stream. It measures out to be about 2000 gal/day. Hard to believe, but it 6 ozs every 2 seconds.

Like lsquid suggested, this water could be coming from somewhere else. Oh well, I might eventually build another small pond down near the creek.
