Thanks John,

I think I'll have to plan for a drain then.
I don't like the idea of the water running over onto my yard.
Is this any less a problem for larger ponds?
Or is it common for a good pond simply to have an overflow pipe?

thanks, Gary.

Yes. Unless you specifically provide an overflow drain, the pond will
overflow.

Usually this isn't a problem, in that the water just runs over the
lowest edge.
