How do they fill artificial lakes and ponds that you see on peoples property or at state parks, etc.?
I’ve seen them all over the place, and I don’t usually see anything that could be a source of water. No streams or anything.
I didn’t think rain would be enough to fill a pond. That’s amazing.
Doesn’t take much of a stream and it could be an underground spring or one that you did not see.

Often times rain is enough to keep at OK level. If not some may pump water in from city/county water of have a well.

Farm ponds are typically lined with clay and retain water very well. Rainfall is typically enough to keep them full.

My father-in-law owned 23 acres near Washington, Missouri and had a small sized pond , I’d say 100′ by 50′ with a depth of about 20′, dug in on his property. It took the better part of a year or so for it to fill up, via Mother Nature. Being on the downside of a slight hill helped a little.
