Hi since my last post I have reset my property line on the south side and this put 15 trees on my property of which 8 have come down, I am no longer losing water in the pond and am actually gaining with the well pump putting between 2 and 4 thousand gallons per day, So I agree that trees do suck up alot of water and am going to take out the other 7 trees.
