Chris, I wish I could give you some of my rain! I'm having just the opposite problem. We've had so much rain, the pond has overflowed several times. I'm losing fish in spite of the 2 screens I have on the spillway. I had gotten so much ground debris and silting in the pond that I've spent $2,600.00 on limestone to border the pond to help filter the mess, and my dam is eroding. I had anticipated the same problem you're having when I built the pond, so I had a shallow well(100') drilled, but so far I have not had to use it.
