The level the pond drops down to is the point the settling point of
where the creek is when the water isn't running....

So lets just do this ( the dots here are the highest point of the pond
when the water runs)
The dashes are the point the pond settles to when the waterfall isn't
on.
The ** are the level of the creek when the waterfall runs
The __ are the point the creek settles to when the water doesn't run.
The ++ are the max depth of the pond

So I know this is cruddy image, but the pond holds water all the time

Hey everyone I have a question for ya'll

I have a pond and a creek, to a hidden pond layout. When I run the
pump, the upper pond fills up and runs down the creek. I say fills up
because when the pump isn't running, it settles about 4 inches. If I
adjust the part that goes into the creek, the pond will overflow its
banks. Same with the creek, I run it right to the edge of flooding.

When the pump is off, everything settles down a few inches. Any
suggestions on how to keep the pond and creek from overflowing, and
still raise the waterlevel?
==========================
You didn't say if you pond has a liner. If so, there may be a small hole or
rip about 4" down.
