Thanks for your input. If the yard floods and the water level is
approaching the level of the pond I guess I'll be too busy trying to
net my fish before they escape to worry about the liner lifting!

Try to have the liner and water level in the pond higher than the

water
level on the outside of the pond is higher than the inside, then the
liner
will lift, spilling the pond water into that rather large pond, and
the fish
will probably decide that the water quality is better on the outside
as
well.

I live in NW Ohio, only 100 yds from the south shore of Lake Erie.
We
put in a tiny pond a few months ago and are planning on putting a
larger pond in this fall. Since we're in the flood plane I plan on
building the sides of the pond up with 2 courses of concrete block
and
then bank dirt around the sides for a more natural look. The top
of
the pond will be above the highest flood level (so far), but I'm
concerned about ground water. When the lake level rises, so does
the
water table. I plan on using EDPM liner. Will the liner bubble up
when the water table rises? Suggestions?
