Just found the site and it has a wealth on information and I am still reading Thank you
I have a small Old Cattle Pond that used to hold water 3' or so for ever and about 8 years ago the pond started leaking and has been dry for the past several years. Last year I took a bobcat and cleaned it out and put several thousand pounds of bentonite in out after I scraped everything off. Unfortunately that didn't work. The pond is about 30 yards by 30 yards and used to be used by the cattle to cool off. I was not able to find the leak when I removed a couple feet of soil. Is the best thing to do to try and fix it is Coring the Pond? Getting down to Rock or Clay and try and find the leak? It can rain two inches and within hours the puddles go dry in most spots I just can't understand it. It does have a small dam on one side. do I need to dig down until I hit clay or rock? Would i be better off bringing clay in and compacting in ? Thanks for any help
