IMO the amount of water shed for a pond depends on how well the basin is properly compacted / sealed. If your bucket leaks it takes more water to keep it full. The tighter the soil in the basin the less water shed that is needed to keep it 'full'. For a smaller pond and long term benefit IMO it would be wise to prepare the basin during compaction with an insurance soil sealant such as Soil Floc. Doing good preparatory home work will make the final project more successful. Are there any good ideas how much it will cost to fix a leaky pond???? Lots of money!!
