Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Renovating a Pond or Lake? Water issue after fixing dam.

After fixing a pond dam that blew out from beavers stopping up the overflow pipe. We have noticed water coming from under ground on back side of pond. The pond had been sitting without water for years. It’s feed by a creek that’s coming from higher ground. There’s water also leaching from ground on left side of pond up higher than pond in the field. Year ago when pond was built the way it was cored was by blasting the ground and filling with clay from
What I was told. Not 100% it’s leaking from the core or dam, but possibly a spring. This didn’t have anything to do with our work, but I’d like to help the customer out as much as possible with the issue. What can be done about this. The water is draining to the creek below dam where overflow pipes empty into, but I don’t like how it stays wet and soggy. Thanks
