We haven't had a decent rain in 3 months in Grady county, and the creek that runs through our place is now a series of puddles. Our neighbor says this has happened only once in the last 50 years.

BTW, everyone around here has a pond almost, or 2, or 3 and most of the ponds look to be only 1 or 2 feet low and some are at full pool. Is this a function of good soils and water table? Should I be encouraged?

Here's an aerial of our place including about 4 sq miles, which shows the number of ponds. I assume that the vast majority of them are constructed.
