According to figures given by the aquaculture center here in alabama
area, 1" of water loss is about average in a month and should not be
too much of a concern. However lots of other factors can play into
this loss. The figures they give is for a lined pond. The figures for
an unlined pond is about 3 times higher. Breeze/ wind seems to pull
more water out of a pond by evaporation than heat does. Fountains and
sprays etc will increase the amount of loss. The more water is moving
such as current flow and cascadeing down over rocks more will be lost
as well.......The more humidity in the air the less water is
lost..since the air is already saturated. A cool dry breeze even
without heat will make more of a water loss than just heat and
sunshine without a breeze.
