KC, aspects of what a well needs to produce to have any affect on a pond have been recently disussed somewhere, i would search the forum a bit and see what comes up recently, try a search for "gpm" in the last couple months..
solar systems only produce significantly at shallow depths so its good yer aquifer is shallow. you can look at sierrasolar.com to get an idea of what current systems do. the grundfos systems appear the nicest, but production radically falls off below 100 ft. remember that 1 acre of water that is 1 inch deep is ~25,000 gallons which translates to a ~17 gpm well running 24/7 (if you want to fill 1 acre by 1 inch per day and assuming no loss from seepage and/or evaporation).
1 acre of water 1 foot deep is over 300,000 gallons which translates to a ~200 gpm well running 24/7 (to fill 1 acre by 1 foot per day). i doubt you can find a solar system that will do more than 40-50 gpm at 100 ft depth for any reasonable cost.
good luck, let us know what you find.
and p.s. i recall that you have an incredibly beautiful 10 acre puddle.....so multiply those numbers above by 10 and thats what you'll need to visibly increase yer water levels.
