FWIW, my personal pond is dug in VERY sandy soil. Not enough clay was found to seal it so it's a groundwater pond. The level will drop up to 7 vertical feet, and can go from slightly more than a surface acre to slightly less than 1/2 surface acre. When the ground water was about 3' below full pool I did a test to see how much was leaking out. At that time, and at that water level, I could pump in 25 gpm and I'd lose 18 gpm due to leakage and evaporation.
So the long term plan is to drop a well that will pump around 200-300 gpm and get some of the polymer that TJ has. That way the well won't have to run all the time.
