Thanks for the forum!
I know the feelin, congratulations joerocker, pondmeister.

p.s. somewhere brettski (and others) posted some good links to nat'l average evap. rates, if i find it i'll post, or if somebody else can do it faster go for it......i should have saved the dern thing to my favorites but alas....

your evap loss will be buffered by yer summer rainfall...out here in sunny CA the loss is lost unless you have supplemental summer water.

edited post, filling rate is directly dependant on watershed yield and pond volume (assuming no leakage). in my case once the creeks started flowing (after ~6-8-inches of rain), my 1 acre 6 to 15 ft deep pond filled in a matter of days.


GSF are people too!
