Quick update.... Got a little rain. I have been loosing 1/16in per day. It rose almost exactly 1/4 inch from a 1/4 inch of rain. Since I have been trying to fill this pond we have not had more than 1/4 inch of rain at a time. No real rain again in the 7 day look ahead. As I drive I look around and see many other ponds in the area low. I wonder if they were low before and I missed it or if its extremely dry right now. My wife and I also looked a little closer at the in feed pipe and we are both pretty sure its more 3GPM but we haven'[t measured it yet. I can't wait for a "gully washer" to see if I come up more than the rainfall amount.
To clarify another question from above, I am collecting the watershed of about 50 acres. Spring fed 99% of the time and when it rains I collect that also but the rain we have gotten for two months has only soaked in, not run off yet. Very dry!
