Hi This topic may have been covered before. my situation is this. i have a low area near the edge of my pond where rainwater collects. in the winter. when we have alot of rain ( october to June) it erodes the area arround the pond and puts alot of silt into the pond. the lowland area is normally wet until about mid july. i was thinking of running drain tile into the pond to give the water a place to go. my question is, would this still be muddy water going straight into my pond or is there a way to filter it prior to going in? the other option would be to try and run the water away from the pond and into a field. this would be more difficult due to slope issues. has anyone had this problem and found a simple soulution? i dont want to run a drain pipe straight into the pond until i fully understand the consequences
