Thanks Leo. Below 80 is not an issue. Above 80 is a constant for probably 6-8 months of the year in south Texas.
For everyone else, is 65 GPM sufficient volume to fill three acres and keep it full?
No way to tell if the 65 gpm is enough until you can tell us how much gpm will be lost due to any leakage and evaporation.
Personally? I'd dig the pond at least 20' figuring that as soon as you finish digging, it will start filling back up (slowly). That's just mother nature at work. Providing you still have clay at that depth tho. If you hit a sand vein, stop digging in that area, note the depth and pack at least 18" of clay over the sand.
More water volume is better in the Texas climate, well or no well.
