Wanted to let any and all people that follow this that TJ has helped me tremendously with our farm pond (just dug in March 2019). He took time to call me twice and explain the evaporation vs. an actual leak. As Kentucky is in the middle of a drought and I am only losing about 1 1/2 inches per week he has advised to wait the drought out and see if the pond level starts back up. He said it might just be a small leak but he was siding on evaporation. I did mention to him that I was considering digging a well close to the pond to keep the level of the pond consistent no matter what the problem (drought, leak, or evaporation). He gave me some excellent advise on digging the well and what to expect. Great wealth of knowledge. Thanks TJ.
