60 acres of drainage sounds somewhat skimpy in the midwest for that pond size
agreed...somewhat. It is about 1/2 the ideal volume based on local stat's., but definitely not a pond deal-breaker. The payback for waiting a little longer for fill-up is the peace of mind when a 10 year rain does occur.
Is there a spring that runs through the area in the summer or a continous high water table?
nope...but tons of killer clay to hold what juice is gonna be there. That, and it is a bowl completely surrounded by tall timber so the wind evap. is minimized.
