Thanks crazyj and snrub!

I'm not entirely sure how to measure watershed. I do, just visually, see a lot of water added to the pond every time we get any kind of wet weather. My entire front yard slants toward the pond, except on the spillway side, where it then moves to dumping into a dryish creek. Currently the some of the house gutters are also draining into the pond, though I could add some there. I think if I could seal it up I wouldn't lose too much water? Snake swimming is half the fun! so far we've only seen a few snakes. Frogs aplenty though, like a lot!

snrub, the journey makes me a little nervous, but I hope you are right!

Snort Coffee is a podcast about goofy stuff. Hope to add ponding to my list of hobbies.
