Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Renovating a Pond or Lake? No Rain, Need other options

I recently had Mike Otto consult to give me the best/most dependable option on maintaining the water levels on my pond.

His recommendation was a well. Like most in my area, we don't have enough rain to keep our ponds full.

I've verified I'm not losing any water other than what is consumed by evaporation and soil absorption.

I need a 50 GPM (Minimum) shallow well pump to provide a consistent water level.

We have high mineral content in our water table so it will need to be durable.

The water table is less than 20 feet anywhere on my property, several places have artesian springs.

I don't have electricity yet so I'm considering solar.

Any advice on a pump as well as solar set up would be appreciated. I plan on running the water over a rock feature with pond liner under it as a pathway to the pond.
