Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Groundwater pond water fluctuations

Here's what I want it to look like all year 'round:



But, with a groundwater pond, I am at the mercy of the level of the water in the ground. Here's what it looks like now, 50" lower than the first picture... You can see the high water level by the green grass.


Let this be a stark reminder to the guys and gals here that either have a groundwater pond, or have a pond where there is a spring in the pond basin. What Mother Nature gives, she can also take away.......

I have, at this time, the cabability to pump well water into the pond at the rate of 25 gpm. It will slowly bring the pond up about 20" higher than the low level that you see here, but then it reaches a point of equilibrium. It leaks out as fast as it goes in..
