Sounds about right providing that the soil that the extra water covers leaks at the same rate as the soil that is covered by water now.
I found that the extra water depth =more soil covered by water = more water leaking out. It didn't leak any faster per sq. ft. of pond bottom, it was that since I covered more soil with water it came close to a point of equilibrium. What I was pumping in was leaking out at the same rate.
My pond is filled by soil run-off in the Spring, but it also is dug into the water table. The soil was sandy; not enough clay to seal the pond from seasonal water table ups 'n downs.
