Nearly 2’ low here in Ohio. Next summer I’m going to install a 3” Harbor Freight trash pump 300’ away ito draw from the neighbors stream and bury smooth wall 3 inch drain line to my ponds edge. A 5 gal gas can will feed the pump. I figure 5 gallons of gas will run the pump 12 hours and lift my 1 acre pond about 6 inches per tank. Figure the sub-$1000 investment will be worth always having a near- full pond to enjoy instead of praying to the rain gods 9 months a year. If you set the pump a hair above idle, the 3" pump will run for over 24 hours by using a 6 gallon gas can. The pumps with the Honda motor are quieter than the Predator pumps.
