Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Renovating a Pond or Lake? Pond Leak or Normal Evaporation

I will let the experts confirm, but from what I have observed in Oklahoma with similar climate conditions it is usually up to 1/2 inch per day due to evaporation.

If you know your average rainfall and calculate the days you have with that kind of weather that should give you some idea of what amount of water you should expect to be able to maintain.

I have kept average rainfall records for our area and it only averages about 30 inches per year. I already know I will never maintain the pond at full capacity without supplementing. My pond is currently over 4 feet low.

There are about 27,000 gallons, per inch, of surface acre. If you think you would like to attempt to maintain or raise the level by supplementing. As Mr. Lusk says, we just borrow the water, we won't keep it.
