Well and Pond

[TeamAmerica]

I don't think i i could ever justify the cost of a well to compensate for a tank/pond design. i would guess a good design with the right type of clay bottom and the right grade/runoff where even light rains will quickly increase the water level would be the best way to approach it.

If i lived on the property and depended on a water well, i would never want to risk the tank/pond well drying up the water table that my primary source of water depends on. even if that means having to go out and buy some fish to re-stock it when the severe drought strikes.

depends on there you set your float to kick the well on and the evaporation rate your pond loses water.

You get your native slang from Texas Monthly articles?

LOL! I stopped reading when they threw out pollywog.

Looks like a tank to me.

I can't believe it took 26 posts for the Chief of pond police to get here.

These are tanks.

Tank is a West/South Texas term. Where folks aren't used to seeing water unless it is coming out of a well pipe into a "metal, plactic, concrete, or even dirt hole tank". In the rest of the state/country standing water it is in a pond.
