[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 349495, member: 1664"] I do not know of an equation that fills in all the variables, but I might have a way to address the owners question. Put a flow meter on the incoming water feed line. Do not run the waterfall for a day and read the flow from the automatic filling to keep the level within 1/4 inch. Then, run the waterfall for a day and read the amount of water it takes to keep the pond at the same level. You see where I am going. If at standstill you have minimum loss,(judgment call/ based on all the equations of evaporation) and with the falls flowing you have a significant increase in water loss, then you might have a leak in the system. At least this would give you a baseline of actual daily water consumption/ evaporation. [/QUOTE]
