Pond Water Loss: Why Is My Pond Losing Water?

There could be several reasons why your pond is losing water, and it is important to identify the cause in order to effectively fix the issue:

1. Natural water loss: Ponds in Colorado naturally loose up to an inch of water a day. This evaporation can be more pronounced in the summer or if your pond has significant splash-out from waterfalls or fountains. If this is the case, there is no immediate cause for concern, as the water loss is within normal limits. However, consider implementing water conservation practices, such as adding vegetation around the pond, to reduce the evaporation rate.

2. Leakage: Another possible reason for water loss could be due to leakage. Check for leaks in the piping, low spots in the liner, or tears and holes in the liner. Leaks can occur due to various factors, such as animal damage or the weathering of old and exposed liners.

It is crucial to identify the specific cause of water loss in your pond in order to apply the appropriate fix. If you are unsure or unable to determine the cause, we would be more than happy to provide an accurate diagnosis and effective resolution!
