Cool.

I have a fantastic well with two pumps--one for both households and one ag pump for moving mass quantities of water, so I'm good to go on the well-water end of things.

I do flow through on every body of water I have--the ponds (2 liner ponds now) and the stock tanks. Mud is essential to hooves in summer, so the dribble through keeps the footing around the waterers soggy and runs off to settle thusly:



And this stays there all summer.

So because I have a high water table I can't successfully run ponds in the ground or partially so? Why?
