That is great that your pond is holding that level. Typically when hitting a spring (groundwater) the water pressure in the pond will exceed the water pressure in the ground during times of low rainfall and the pond will drain faster. There is no one way valve on springs....... It sounds like your pond is at a lower elevation than some of the surrounding land that has water in it.
