[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 348029, member: 1912"] No engineer here. I would imagine your formula would also have to account not only for evaporation but also splash. Water in motion would tend to generate water droplets that would either splash or mist outside of the confines of the pond. This misting would also increase or decrease depending on temperature and wind. This formula should work: [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/2/0/1/201758f478f24b94c0a1ce0df5a12373.png[/IMG] :happy-very: Everything I see tells me there are no easy formulas to calculate and quantify. You would probably have to hire an engineer to perform the calculation. There are some web sites out there where people bid on jobs of this type, I'll try to get you a link if you're interested. if the design of your ponds is fairly consistent and you can measure water loss on a daily basis you could perform your own measurements to use as a rough estimate. P.S. Gorgeous pond. You are soooooooo talented. [/QUOTE]
