Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Renovating a Pond or Lake? Operation trash pump

Cecil:

Water is about done rising in my pond unless we get more rain. It's at 54 3/4", about 8" below full pool. The water level in my pond is = the neighbors seasonal pond (3' deep and it dries up every Fall). I adjusted the culvert so it wouldn't backflow into his pond, and pumped some of the water out of his pond to mine as his property was starting to flood towards his pole barn. Typically the surface water goes from his property to mine, and then from mine to the next neighbor to the West. At this level, if I didn't pump some to my pond, it starts to flood the woods behind our houses. I think I still have some migrating to my pond thru the ground, as my pond level rose 1 1/2" after pumping for 5 hours yesterday. My pump is rated for 16,000 GPH, and the pond is over an acre in surface area now.
