I have a question about pond/stream evaporation for any seasoned pond owners
out there.

My pond is about 23'x23'x24 inches deep with a 63 foot stream. The width of
the water in the stream is about 14 inches. The stream bed is small river
pebbles.

Temps have been in the 70-80's in the day and 50's at night with a low-med
humidity. No rain during this period

I don't understand what the water level in the pond goes down about 1/4-1/2
inch in about 2 days.

I concur with the "normal evaporation loss" group. I don't think you have
a leak or too much splash out. ~ jan
