Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Groundwater pond water fluctuations

Update:

Since the last post, we had a LOT of rain come in June. The pond raised to 6" below full pool.

Since July 1st, we have NOT had the rain that is needed to keep the groundwater levels up. I turned on the well going to the pond, (which puts out 25-28 gpm) and ran it continually from July 1st until August 19th. During that time the pond dropped 11", even with the well running 24/7. I shut off the well on August 19th.

From August 19th until now, without the well running, the pond has dropped another 40". So, from July 1 until now the pond has dropped 53".
