My 1200 gallon or so pond ran all winter, freezing and thawing several times. It has now been fully thawed for about a week and a half and I was a little surprised to see how much the water level has dropped.
During the winter and after the first major snow melt the water level in the pond was pretty high. After only a week of "warm" sunny days it seemed like the pond dropped 2 or maybe 3 inches.
I'm adding water to it today and will monitor the level closely but I'm curious if this is a normal spring chore others do when the first few warm dry days hit.
