Actually Rainman posted some good information about a siphon system. I will probably model one after his. I'll use it above ground(not buried) to drain the pond as low as I can. Then once the dam is repaired dig a trench and bury it for a more permanent install. Question is the spillway or spillways. Yall think I should go with a pipe spillway or a natural "earthen" spillway or both? Once I get home I'm going to go out and take some measurements so I'll know approximately how much material to buy. Thanks everyone for the much needed advice!
