Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Runoff question

Thanks guys. I was thinking along these lines. I had read about quite a bit more gain in water level from a given rain, than it was seeing. My take is, it's just impossible to predict. If I completely covered my alfalfa fields with asphalt, I'd see a bigger bump from even the smallest rain. When it's really dry, the ground just soaks up everything. My hope was that maybe there was a given amount that might be seeping downhill to the pond. I think if it does, it's a minuscule amount. Before this last rain there were some pretty large cracks open all over the alfalfa fields, it was so dry. Just not going to get much runoff in that situation.
