I just built a new pond, and my main source of water is ten acres of watershed,so I decided to bore a well, the first went down 600' and produced a 10 gpm flow, not enought, so we bored another, this one 200', and the flow rate was 75 gpm, so I installed a 2hp submersible pump, I should be able to pump a constance flow of 25 to 35 ghm. this lake is a little less than an acre, the rainfall here lately has been very short, but I have about 2' of water in the deepest section of the pond, it has been 2 week since it last rain, I am like everyone else alway worrying about a leak, will it has dropped about 6",I think due to evaporating water
ok my question is, my well is 45' from the pond,how should I pipe the water to the pond, should go to the bottom,should I run the pipe to the water edge, or should I shoot the water in the air, like a fountain, and what size of pipe should I use.
any comments appreciated,my first pond
