[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 347716, member: 484"] There is no real place for this question on this site, but I am interested in the answer, so any help would be appriciated. If it needs moved, please feel free to do so! [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I do know there are formulas out there on the rate of water evaporation that is not in motion, but in my case there are several wild cards to add to the mix.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Case in point.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Pond has aprox 560 SF of surface area.
