We got about 0.3 inches total yesterday through last night. Not nearly enough.
We didn't experience much drought here during the Texas dry years, except for summer of 2012. A lot of shallow ponds dried up that year.
I wanted my pond to be deeper than the 11 feet we dug, but my pond builder said we might hit rock or gravel if we went much deeper, and have leaks in the basin. He said he dug one pond 45 feet deep at the insistence of the owner and it is a dry hole. Oh well, I still have eight feet of water in the deep side and seven in the other side, but my surface area is way down. I have only lost 4-1/8 inches in the past thirty days.
