I had a 2 acre pond built last fall. The soil and water folks came out and gave the site their qualified blessing. We ran into some gravel digging the test holes, but it was a couple of feet deeper then our pond bottom. After a hard rain fills the pond to two or three feet, it will lose several inches a day until I have about six inches of water and then it stops leaking. My builder says that I should be patient, but I am skeptical that a pond that is losing that much water will ever seal itself.
Sure had a lot of water run in and out this summer.
Should I wait awhile or start looking at other solutions?
