How big is your BOW? it would take a pretty decent stream to lower a pond that much. evaporation shouldn't be a huge factor this time of yr.

No stream of water that I could see anywhere, I honestly think most of it was seepage being a new pond and the fact that we have only had about 1/2 in of rain over the last month at my place. I do think another factor is it wasn't compacted very good when built. Pretty discouraging to go from full to only 25% water. I'm hoping I get answers soon. What is BOW?
