Last week before it rained I diverted the wet weather spring above my pond away from the hole in the rock it was disappearing into. When it rained I went out in the mud and watched to see what was going on. I realized that before diverting the spring I was losing probably 70% of my available runoff into bedrock as the spring flow increases greatly during a rain event. We only received about .8" over 2 days but the pond caught enough to raise by almost 2 ft. Hoping to be full by late winter now.
