Strong winds dropping water level?
Hi there,
We had quite strong winds here in the Uk last night and my pond had gone down around 1.5 inches over nite. Is this normal? Thanks in advance, Steve |

Strong winds dropping water level?
Hi,
It is conceivable but can depend on many variables. Did you have a fountain or other water feature running at the time? These can contribute greatly to water loss in windy conditions. Did anything blow onto any water feature diverting water such as a leaf? How strong is quite strong in the UK? Has it ever had a loss like this before or since? HTH -_- how no NEWS is good "Steve Ball" wrote in message ... Hi there, We had quite strong winds here in the Uk last night and my pond had gone down around 1.5 inches over nite. Is this normal?

HTH -_- how no NEWS is good Yes, I had the waterfall and fountain running - it was the first time the fountain had been run.... The winds gusted upto 45MPH which is quite strong in my book! I didn't see anything diverting the water this morning. The pond is only 3 weeks old and I've never seen anything like this.. Steve |

Steve I have a 150 gallon stock tank with fountain and learned to turn the fountain way down to keep the water level from dropping too much during thunderstorms. Gail near San Antonio TX |

Depending on wind direction and speed, the water can be blown from
waterfalls and fountains to the surrounding ground causing large losses during the storm. Also with high winds (think getting out of the shower in front of a fan), warmer pond temperature than air temperature (think steam from a coffee cup, rather than condensation on the sides of a beer) and lower humidities evaporation rates increase significantly. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "Steve Ball" wrote in message ... ----- Original Message ----- From: "how" Newsgroups: rec.ponds Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2004 9:58 AM Subject: Strong winds dropping water level?
