JoeDK, if the loss is just due to evaporation, then that's the best case; there's pretty much nothing you can do about it.

If the water loss is due to more than evaporation, then you most likely have a leak which can be a problem of varying degrees especially if you don't have a great water source for the pond.

You've got to starting measuring the loss as a first step.
