evaporation rate is worrying me
This is my first post so my apologies if this has been covered in
recent posts. I belong to rec. birds and someone directed me to you. I have recently put in a small two tier waterfall draining into a 3'x3' "pond" for my feathered friends. Waterfall is about 6-8' total length. Pond/receptacle part is loosing about 12" of water per day. In comparison to a pool 12" is a lot but for this small holding area I'm sure it isn't. I finally put in a dripper system, running a 1/4" tube underground with an adjustable mister at the pond end. Too lazy to run the hose for 20 minutes each day. I'm 98% sure the pond does not have a leak. Heavy duty rubber was put in. I think I'm just no used to the evaporation rate and didn't know what to expect. Can anyone with a small warterfall/pond feature reassure me that they too must top up their feature as I am? Thank you. Larry Southern Ontario |
