Water level dropped under ice

10 years ago

This is my first experience with my pond freezing. The water level has dropped quite a bit under the ice. My waterfall is still running so I have a good hole to see. My question is should I add more water to the pond? We still have a day or two of this cold weather with the temps during the days in the 20's and night temps in single digits.

Here is a picture of the ice, it is hard to see how far down the water is but the level has dropped about 12 inches.

yes you should slowly replace the lost water. Check for Ice dams diverting the water outside the liner and think about pulling the pump so the pond does not run dry.
